A body for a passenger car has a body-in-white structure which is located behind a wheel well for a front wheel of the passenger car and which has a transverse member that extends on the outside of a longitudinal beam of the body-in-white structure in front of a front end wall of the body-in-white structure in the vehicle transverse direction. The transverse member has a catch element which is designed to catch a rim of the front wheel that has moved backwards in the vehicle longitudinal direction in the event of an accident and is turning in rearward towards the vehicle center. The body-in-white structure has an A-pillar located behind the catch element, a lateral sill located behind the catch element, and a support element which is located in the A-pillar and via which the catch element that has moved backwards in the event of an accident and, via the catch element, the rim that has moved backwards in the event of an accident, can be supported towards the rear on the lateral sill.
