Noise when hitting large bumps after putting new tires/rims on

Out of curiosity how does it ride. You may have a bad strut that is bottoming out causing allot of wheel travel. Easy way to test is push up and down on each corner of car and if it settles right away it's fine but if it continues to bounce strut is bad.

I drove to work for the first time in a number of weeks and hit the bump that normally causes rubbing and nothing rubbed this time. It must have just been the tab sticking out (and not holding the plastic tight enough to the fender) as mentioned in a previous reply. Which is good because I'd rather not have to roll my fenders and risk cracking paint.
