Yurp looks more then 30mm - but in a good way!
Like you say they were probably advertised as 30mm springs but the engine weight has dropped it more

looks like it parks on a slight slope, drive in next time, stop away from kerb, hand brake on and an instant 10mm of the rear lol (more with a steeper decline) 
joking aside it looks nice mate, wheels seem to suit the drop in the arch nicely.

measure the front and rear wheel to arch, on a flat with handbake off. see what the difference is. id probably do 15-20 looking at it. but once measured youd have a better idea.
