THe reason why you noticed a bigger gap is your actual rim size is smaller. The dealer is saying that you it's the same setup is true in a sense...You tires are bigger so you over all diameter from the center to the tires is the same so to them it's the same setup...Smaller rim with bigger tires is same diameter overall...19 inch rims will make the gap look smaller because you are looking at the rim in reference to the fender. Yes, it looks like an illusion...
