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.

Thanks, that's all I needed to know.
I was about to just say fuckit and order them from my shop guys and do the test fit but wanted to avoid getting them and then having the spokes hit the caliper.
Hopefully you guys come out with an ARC8 or another set that is actually light that clears the 6 pots.
If not I see myself getting the 763m for track duty.
