Your new shoes have more material on them, they now create a larger diameter. As Hidenplanvew stated you will need to readjust the self adjusters to reduce the diameter of the shoes.

Is your parking brake off?
Did you push the pistons in on the wheel cylinders? It would be best to replace the wheel cylinders when replacing shoes.
Can you take pictures?
Make sure the shoes have not fallen off he pads they ride on.
