Abstract
A movable luggage board is arranged in such a manner as to cover a tire well provided on a luggage floor in a vehicle. The luggage board is connected to a floor structure body by a tether so that a movable range is limited. The tire well has a depth in correspondence to a tire width of a temporary use spare tire having a narrow width. A length of the tether is set to a dimension such that the luggage board can move to a position to be mounted in a substantially horizontal manner on an attached tire projecting above the tire well in a state where the attached tire having a wide width is housed within the tire well. Accordingly, an increased height within a luggage room at a normal state can be secured and the attached tire having a wide width can be housed within the tire well.
