Spare Tire question
Out admiring the truck today, happened to look underneath at the spare tire.
My trucks got the 20inch wheels with the Michelin tires.
Spare tire is a 18inch with a good year tire.
Is this ford saving money or should I have the correct size wheel and tire?

Its been discussed many times here. The difference in actual diameter of the spare, to the rest is minimal. In fact, your 20 inch tires will have a larger diameter when new, but smaller before you replace them (if you run them till they need replaced by tread depth)

If you don't plan to include the spare in your tire rotation scheme, I wouldn't worry about it. The overall diameter is close enough to get you to a facility to repair/replace a flat tire.

With so many guys lifting and replacing wheels and tires should be plenty to pick from on Ebay, Craigslist, FB Market place to get a 5th and include it in your rotation schedule. Kinda nice for the guys who ordered trucks with the cheapest wheels possible plenty are in circulation to upgrade if you want factory wheels. I would have put steal's on mine from the factory since they are being swapped out anyways.
