ABSTRACT:
In a spare tire storage arrangement for vertically retaining a spare tire in a rear part of the vehicle body adjacent to a rear wheel house, a recess is provided in an upper part of the wheel house somewhat behind a highest point thereof, and a saddle member is provided behind the wheel house so that protrusion of the spare tire in both the rearward and lateral directions can be minimized. Therefore, this arrangement can be applied to a motor vehicle having rear wheels located extremely close to the rear end of the vehicle, and can maximize the effective volume of the luggage compartment. Also, owing to provision of the inclined supporting surfaces on the side panel, and the replaceable arrangement of the saddle member, it is possible to store spare tires of different sizes without any major modification.
