Since posting this I've figured out the problem was due to the shapefiles I was reading in. As they were already projected they were in meters, as oppose to decimal degrees. By opening the shapefiles in ArcGIS, reprojecting them to WGS1984 and exporting, I could then reload them in R in decimal degrees before reprojecting to my desired projection.
