Its the difference in wheels that makes it look smaller. The way the rock ring(black) pulls your eyes to the center of the wheel making it appear smaller. I think

Maybe a little but I measured the front and rear tire size an there is a little over 1/2 inch difference. Also the rear of the jeep is sitting about 1/2 inch higher than before. The larger tubes on the axle cause the spring perches to sit higher. So the overall gap in the fender increased by about 1.2 inches. The mickey thompsons are also 3/4 of an inch narrower than the nittos so that plays tricks on your eyes as well. Once the front is on I will make some adjustments for now, probably removing the 1" spring spacers I am currently using to correct the ride height until the next phase begins.
