Hi I have a slight issue with my rs4. The front wheels are rubbing on turns and the same with all the wheels I have tried and I have checked against the size and they are 1.90” any idea?

whats the oem offset of the rims..looks to me like you need a more offset rim... you can always take them off and make a wheel jig and do some trimming on them yourself. I did that with a set of rims I wanted to run on a radio shack golden arrow I raced back in the days when I wanted a asphalt tire
 
I'm with Bob on that one. Throw some SCT wheels on there and call it a day. Let you car get a little dirty.
 
Without spending much money, these are the shims I am suggesting.

You can use a larger wheel or space out your wheel
 
Bigger wheels. Don't use wheel spacers It changes the steering geometry as well as the power.
 
I think add some metal/plastic washers between the hub and wheels will work too but not as good.
