I thought it might have been the balancing of the tires but its not. does anyone have any suggestions or any info on how to fix this vibration.

You have oversized the factory specs by 4". This is a large increase in wheel and tire mass. All this unsprung weight is tricky to balance correctly. Using spacers is a big no-no from a balance and safety point of view, IMO.
Do you know the combined weight of the wheel/tire combination? You may require a brake rotor and caliper aftermarket upgrade to handle all the extra stress.
I know my opinions on wheel size, tires and brakes are not popular with the folks that like to make a fashion statement with their cars. Frankly, if you want to spend over 40K on your package and you intend to only flatbed it to auto shows, then that's entirely your own business.
However, if you intend to drive your car on the roads with the rest of us, then please ensure that you know precisely what the effects are going to be when you decide to place overspec'd rims and tires on your car. No matter how nice it looks to you, please take care to keep your car from becoming a hazard to others.
