I checked on the page but ARC8 dont come in 19x9.5 ET28 and 19x10.5 ET45. You do offer a 19x9.5 ET33 which with a 5mm spacer gets to same front spec but 10.5 rear I found only comes in ET22.
How many sets you would need interest in to build the ARC8 set in 19x9.5 ET28 and 19x10.5 ET45?
If I go off of the weight you guys list for 9.5 and 10.5 ARC8 the total weight for a set would be roughly 87 pounds which is a solid improvement over the stock 788M wheels.

Proctor750 is correct. Because of the concave design of the ARC-8 face, caliper clearance becomes an issue. With the size of the rotors and calipers, the barrel clearance would be so tight that you'd risk damage if a pebble were to get stuck between the caliper and the barrel. The EC-7 was designed with brake clearance as the priority, making it the perfect choice for the M2C.
