Any droning or whining occurring at all?

You can check for play and see if there is any excessive movement around the hub. Lift up the car and wiggle the wheels around with your hand at the 3 and 9 o'clock position as well as at the 12 and 6 o'clock position. The wheel itself should not move.

You could also try having someone spin the wheel while you listen with a stethoscope around the hub for weird noises but since you're encountering vibration at high speeds only, you may not hear anything.

Unfortunately, the wheel bearings/hub in the S are not easily removed/taken apart for inspection so this is about the extent of diagnosis before replacement.
no droning or any wheel bearing noise that I hear, I’ll have to jack it up and push on the wheels to see if there is play as well. It’s very weird doing my axles and spacers definitely brought the vibration down a bit but still there and can def feel it from front right.
thank you for the reply!!
