Yes, you'll be fine.
If you want spacers on the stock wheels, go with 10 mm rear.
But personally I don't like spacers. Wheels weren't designed with/for them so I don't like the questionable integrity they provide.
Better just to go with aftermarket wheels that have an offset closer to what you want.

With such a skinny wheel with a 34 offset, they wont sit all that flush at all.

ARe the wheels that im looking at are they pretty much the same size as stock wheels..? im looking at the OZ 35th anniversary wheel on tirerack.

18 x 8 with 34 offset is the exact same size and offset as the stock front wheels.
Stock rear are 18 x 8.5 with 37 offset.

I wouldn't run a spacer in the front. Just find a wheel with an offset of 28-30 if you want or better yet, get a wheel that's 8.5 inches wide in front with an offset in the 30-34 range and you'll be happy.

But then you'd want to run a 9 inch wide rear wheel with an offset of 32-36 range.

But good luck finding them.
There are still not a lot of wheel choices with the correct offsets for the 335i
