This storage device has a frame-like shape as a whole, and has four arms 2 to 5 that extend radially from the center base 1 in a horizontal direction and bend upward, and arms to engage with brackets provided on the lower surface of the vehicle body floor. It has engaging parts 2a and 4a provided at the tips of 2 and 4, and a storage part 6 is defined inside. A boss 7 is provided on the base 1 so as to project upward. Also, this boss 7
A frame-shaped spacer 9 made of metal is engaged with the. The spacer 9 is composed of an annular portion 10 that is idle around the boss 7, and arms 12 to 15 that extend from the annular portion 10 in the horizontal direction and that are bent downward at an intermediate portion. The ends of the arms 12 to 15 are deformed to form engaging portions 12a to 15a that can engage with the arms 2 to 5, respectively. Therefore, the spacer 9 uses the boss 7 as a guide to guide the annular portion 10 and the base 1.
And the first position (FIG. 3) where and contact each arm 12-1.
The engaging portions 12a to 15a of No. 5 are movable between the engaging portions 12a to 15a and the second positions (FIG. 2) engaging with the respective arms 2 to 5. Here, when the spacer 9 is in the first position, the storage portion 6
Usually has a width W that allows the tires to be stored without rattling, and when the spacer 9 is in the second position, the storage portion 6 has a width W'that allows the narrow emergency tires to be stored without rattling.

First, normally, the engaging portions 12a to 15a of the arms 12 to 15 are engaged with the arms 2 to 5, that is, the spacer 9 is set to the second position and the emergency tire Tt is housed without play (FIG. 2). When the tire needs to be replaced due to a flat tire or the like, the engaging portions 2a, 4a are removed from the body bracket.
Is disengaged, the emergency tire Tt is taken out, and after the tire is replaced, the engaging portions 12a to 15a of the arms 12 to 15 are disengaged from the arms 2 to 5 to move the spacer 9 to the annular portion 1.
0 and the base 1 are moved to a first position where the base portion 1 is brought into contact with each other to widen the width of the storage portion 6 and store the replaced normal tire Tn.
Finally, the engaging portions 2a, 4a are engaged with the vehicle body bracket to complete the work.
