Well, do you have 1cm of clearance on either side of your current setup?

You said 'under', not sticking out right?
What width are your wheels? 335's require 12-13'' wheels.
Depending on your offset, you will need a tub, or L5 flares with a spacer.

It can also depend on the tire brand. In a perfect world all 335 tires would be the same width and use the same width wheels. If you check tire rack .com you can check specs on most brand tires and they will have the actual width and reccomended wheel size. Becasue not all 335 or 315s are the same width or use the same size wheel.
