Abstract
An automobile body having a rear tire house structure including an outer tire house panel and a floor panel. The outer tire house panel is so shaped that it can be used with a tire of larger diameter for a single-tired wheel arrangement and the floor panel is formed at a transversely outer edge with a cut-out which is of a transverse width sufficient to receive wheels for double-tired arrangement and a longitudinal length sufficient to accommodate the larger diameter tire. An inner tire house panel is provided between the outer tire house panel and the floor panel and may have a configuration corresponding to that of the outer tire house panel to define a tire compartment for a large diameter single-tired arrangement or a configuration of no or small projection suitable for a small diameter double-tired arrangement.
