Vehicle-body side face structure

A vehicle-body side face structure, comprising:

• a side sill extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction at a lower portion of a cabin at a position located between a lower end portion of a rear edge of a front wheel house and a lower end portion of a front edge of a rear wheel house;
• and
• a garnish provided to cover the side sill over a range from the front wheel house to the rear wheel house,
• wherein said garnish is provided with a protrusion portion which protrudes outwardly, in a vehicle width direction, so as to suppress a side-face airflow flowing below a door maximum-width portion of a side portion of the cabin from going around below a vehicle floor, and
• a plate-shaped tire deflector is provided at said lower end portion of the front edge of the rear wheel house which corresponds to a position, in a vertical direction, of a rear end portion of said protrusion portion of the garnish, the tire deflector being configured to deflect a side-face airflow flowing above the protrusion portion such that the side-face airflow is turned toward an outward side, in the vehicle width direction, so as not to flow into the rear wheel house and adheres to an outer face of a tire wheel of a rear wheel.
