Do you have those 18x9.5" APEX EC-7R wheels on an M3P? I'd love to see some pictures showing the outer and inner clearance if so! (Yes probably best to start a new thread for that.)
I thought they only properly fit non-P cars. APEX says on a P you need 5mm spacers and then the offset ends up effective 29mm. That seems a little low, would push the wheels farther outward than ideal. But I haven't tried it to really say. If I end up wanting wider 18s those would/will be top of my list except for the fitment issue. When I asked APEX about M3P fitment they hinted they might come out with a direct fitment option in the future.
I do not, but I will take pictures when I get the car in 1-2 weeks.
I am doing the EC-7, not the EC7-R. The EC-7 are ET35 rather than ET34, but they do require a centering ring. APEX makes a very nice aluminum centering ring.
Regarding non-P vs P, the 3mm spacer (5 mm spacer needed for some wider tires) is only replacing building back up the thinner brake rotor hub to make it equivalent with standard non-P hub. So P+3mm = non-P.
But if you want to know what it will look like, here it is:
