i suggest to reduce the LV to a little more than 30G, or you have to
calculate at block level the right dimension. Maybe 31GB is a good
choise to eliminate the risks of lost the last blocks in the filesystem.

the same as before

But... you can use a more simple algoritm

make the LV on the new disks
resize the old fs to feet the size of the new lv (a little less)
dd the filesystem to the new LV
resize the new fs as to feet the entire LV
