I pulled the wheels yesterday and couldn't find much of anything as far as signs of rubbing.
I'm not sure what you're able to view on your computer but here are pics and video,
Front Passenger Outisde - Album on Imgur
Those are the pics of the tires, nothing really stands out. Pic #0 and #3 make me think it's just rubbing the fender liner.
Video of inside the passenger wheel well-
Drivers wheel well-
I'm at a loss,
The only thing I can think of at this point is to put small rolls of tape or some plastic wrap and vaseline on the wheel and jack up all the corners but one to see if I can lift it enough to get it to touch.

Starting a few days ago I got an error linked to the self adjusting headlights.
It was wet out and I had that error once before and it never came back on after I cycled the power so I didn't think anything of it.
That is until this started happening,
It's all of the lights, headlights, interior, even the NAV colors will adjust. It's like the whole lighting system is cycling off and on. I noticed while this was happening the windshield wipers also pause momentarily. It also happens no matter if the lights are in auto or manually on.
I tried pulling the codes and it was something about the auto levelers not having a baseline essentially. I pulled the diagnostics up and both of the sensors in the wheel well are not sending any info.
I read that you can pull the fuse for that system (fuse 10) and it will kind of put a bandaid on the problem, so I tried that and got no more error code but the lights are still flashing.
Any thoughts of places to start when I try and do some troubleshooting this weekend?

Um at least 2 years, not 100% sure I'd have to go through the previous owners service records. I haven't had any other battery related issues.
This also seems more like something cycling more than something dimming/fading out.

Of all the known issues, none were a show stopper for me personally. The RS4 is a great car. I would check the history of the car carefully though since any mistreatment could be expensive down the road. I would also have it checked by a reliable and knowledgeable Audi tech.
GL - hope it works out for you.
