PURPOSE:To hinder tumbling deformation of a wheel house inner panel by the rigidity of a support and a closed section by forming closed section, whose bottom is coupled with a floor panel by a supporting member, at the side of the wheel house inner panel. CONSTITUTION:A supporting member (rear axle member) 22 forming a closed section 27 stretching in the vertical direction of intra-cabin side is coupled with a wheel house inner panel 17, which is formeds in a single piece with a strat tower 18, through a vertical flange 24 (25) and a horizontal flange 26. The bottom of supporting member 23 is secured to a floor panel 34. When an upward directed load is applied on the strat tower 18 from the strat of suspension during the car in running, the wheel house inner panel 17 with its bottom fixed to the floor panel 34 is going to make tumbling deformation. This can however be checked by the rigid structure of the closed section 27 and the supporting member 23, and also generation of booming noise be prevented.
