750 flaps on 900 rims?

[billy]

i have some 750 flaps that were sent to me by mistake
can i use them on my 900 budd wheels?
or should i send em back and try to find 900s?

750 flaps are not as wide as the 900 ones and can not protect the tubes from wear like the correct ones will.

just got off the phone from LUCAS TIRES and according to them
they all take the same flap

Good information, thanks. Years ago the old 750s I was given were different so I now know they make just one for both.

very nice website, i'll be placing an order shortly. do our trucks (with stock rims) use the centered valve stem hole, or the offset valve stem hole?

All flaps we have gotten in the last several years have both 7.50 and 9.00 stamped on them. We have had no problems; however I can't sit here and say yours are the same. Personally, I would have to seriously question it if 9.00 was not on it, there is simply too many people who will shoot you a line these days and won't give a second thought to your best interest. I'm careful whom I listen too unless it is someone I have confidence in.

lucas is a well respected company (i thought)
so i had no reason to think the tech was lying.
everything seems shipshape
so i got plenty of other things to worry about with the m43
