My tires are brand new PILOT AS4s and the tire set up is 245/35/20 with 8.5 in rims in the front and 275/30/20 with a 9.5 in rim in the back, what is causing the vibration?
I'm assuming aftermarket wheels since you have hub-centric rings. Even though you have the "correct" size, I would still suspect the rings. I've had nothing but trouble with aftermarket wheels & centering rings.

For rims i went with Arceo Valencia matte black. For tires i had go with Continental Sport Contact 7 (because Michelin Pilot Sport 4 was not available obviously ).

Front tires: 255/35/20
Front rims: 20" 9J 35 offset

Rear tires: 295/30/20
Rear rims: 20" 10J 40 offset

I think this is ideal setup. No need for spacers, no need for shorter springs (because bigger wheels fill the arches quite well), no rub issues (even when i turn front wheels all the way). And this sizes did not cause any problems with XDrive.

New wheels made a lot of difference imo. I was running 20" individual rims. Car went from looking like daily commuter to a intimidating mean machine. What can i say, i'm happiest guy right now. I just can stop smiling when i look at my car.

Just a quick heads up: if you have M sport brakes option from factory you will need 5mm spacers and longer bolts in front.







This is the first wheel i like on a g30 , can you make more photos from the front with side , so i can see how it looks i might go same wheel like you.. 255/35/20 295/30/20 but i will also ger bilstein b16 and make it flush ..

Your circumfrance difference is 1.5%, +10 revs per mile, I would recommend going 265/35R20 for front👌🏽

I've just bought some wheels for my g30 520d 2017

Front wheels: 20" 8.5J 28 offset
Rear wheels: 20" 9.5J 35 offset

Would 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 be a good tire setup? It's not lowered and no spacers.
