Brabus & Yokohamas - Noise and Grind

I have put Brabus Monblock V 2 peice 19inch wheels on my 97 E420. Up front it has 245/35/19 Yokohama AVS sports and 275/30/19 in the rear, it also has H&R springs and Bilstein Sport shocks.
I get a lot, I mean a lot of road noise from the tires and a grinding feel from the wheels at low speeds. To troubleshoot I took these wheels and tires off and put back the factory ones and everything returned to normal. Put the Brabus combo back on and the noise and grind came back.

The combo does not touch the car body (arches have been flared) and I have the camber kit in the rear. Rotors and Pads are in excellent condition.

Is there something I've missed. Anyone got any ideas?
