OK, I was looking to see if you had a weird size tire and you don't. Look at your driveshaft near the center joint - there should be a postage stamp-sized balance weight on probably just one shaft. If you've had the shaft out and apart for any reason, there's a chance it was reassembled without aligning the two shafts in the same orientation as that in which it was balanced. There are alignment marks on the two shafts - look like arrows etched in the metal. They aren't real deep, so you may have to look with a good light after cleaning the road gunk off the shaft.

If the DS is aligned and balance weight is present, then go chase the rear wheel bearings, but I think there's a greater likelihood the problem is with the driveshaft. A bad rear bearing makes noise, but should not produce the mirror-shaking level of vibration you report.
