Was planning on having spare ribs tomorrow night.
Plans changed. Now having them the next night.
Is 48 hrs. too long to let the rub set before smoking. If so, should I wash off and start over tomorrow? Thanks for the help!

Since you haven't got a response yet, let me chime in. I really don't know, except Tom has told me that if you put the rub on the night before, you could get a hammy taste in the ribs. So now I put the rub on no more than 2 hrs. before the smoke.
Unless you hear from one of the more experienced guys, I would rinse the rub off. You still have plenty of time for it.
I can't remember if it's the salt or what that does it, so I can't tell you what to look for in the rub ingredients. When we get more info, we'll know how to deal with it in the future.

Pags pretty much covered it.
You CAN do it, but I wouldn't. Think of ham. The original way to cure a ham was to cover it in salt and let it sit for a long period. Salt and pork and even overnight starts that process.
Same reason why you don't want to buy the "solution added" ribs. They injected with salt water and will taste like ham.

Great advice, I prolly would have left them overnight.
