Car jerks at around 1500-2000 rpm

I got this problem recently, car started to jerk a bit when I start moving (auto, 1st, 2nd gears) at around 1500 - 2000 RPM.
It started after I changed the wheel to bigger ones. I don't recall this thing before.
Also, when I turn It goes away, or when I go uphill
So I'm confused.

Anyone have any ideas?

You have 4 wheel drive, BMW requires same circumference on all wheels. What size tires did you take off and what are the replacements?

Privet)

I guess I got too excited when were choosing tires, so I didn't consider stuff.

yes. you have to make sure the rotating circumference is identical to stock when choosing a new wheel/tire combo. If you alter that "pkg" you may have other issue with speedo and etc.

PRIVET!!
