i'm getting a set of 5zigen fn01r-c wheels , for my 1993 240 sx. THe size of the rim is 17x8 with a + 35 mm offset all around. Will these wheels fit right on without any problems or are they too wide and how do u think they would look with that offset??

get a ruler and do some calculations, measure maximum distance from wheel well inside to fender, then measure the distance of fender to hub, that will be the offset you want and the maximum width to fill it in as well as clear the suspension. If you put too wide of tire on it will be to wide also.

I love those drawings LMAO
the left side is inside fender well, the right side is maximum to fender, and the middle line is the hub. Two measurements will be all you need to have the best looking wheels you will ever want. Measure maxium width first then the hub to that point. the hub to that point is your backspacing or offset, the maximum width is rim width.

They will fit, but 17X8 is wide for an S13 front. Don't be surprised if you get a little rubbing around corners. I'd look into getting 17X7's for the front.
Also, the fn01r-c's have the worst finish on them I've ever seen. If you barely nick it with anything or if a rock hits it, your definately gonna see it. It will chip the finish right off the wheel. I know this guy here in VA who is using those wheels and has replaced 2 of them because of them bending also. He's running 17X9's +43 in the rear and 17X8 +25 up front.

fn01r-c's don't fit the 114.3 x 4 bolt pattern from what i came to understand when i was about to buy them. only the fn01r's do.

I know for a fact that they chip very easily, but when he bent 2 of them, that would have had to be pretty coincidental for it to happen to 2 of them. First it was the front right one that bent around a corner, and then the back right one bent about a month later.
