Rusty spare tire?

Just crawled under the truck to check the spare pressure (winter prep) and I noticed it's pretty rusty. (see link) I'm wondering if I should drop it and sand the rust off or if this is just normal for the 1500's. It's not a full spare but that's a different story.

Rust doesnt look bad compared to what mine was. I opted to replace the wheel and tire because it was original and 10 years old and I found an insane deal on a 20 inch spare wheel that was mislabeled and sold at like a quarter its actual value. If your tire is still good I think it's fine.

Thanks, any issue with fitting a 20 under there?

Nope. I have a 20 under mine.

I have the full size spare. It's on a 20" rim. Only difference is the steel rim as the winch doesn't fit in the centre bore of the aluminum wheels.

It’s not the wheel size that’s is the limiting factor……. It’s the size of the tire which is.
