Wheel fitment

Hi Got a set of alloys off my previous car, and was thinking about fitting them to the 406. Problem is im not sure if they would catch. They are 16x8j et15 but they are 4x10 stud pattern. If I bought some hubcentric adaptors, that means the offset would be -5. So my question is, would 16x8j et-5 fit...

Knocking noise only when it rains

Bit of an odd one. Mechanically everything is solid, but knocks only when it rains/gets wet on front passenger side. When dry theres no knocking at all. Its had new drop links, struts off a 70k car with good top hats.

Knocks on turning and when stopping and pulling off.
Any ideas?

Hdi owner with 400k

Hi just joined and thought I'd say hi.
I own a 2000 406hdi 90 with just 400k miles :)
No doubt I'll be needing some help with it so thought this would be the best place.
