30mm doesn't sound like much to me - actually most of the murci replicas are an inch shorter wheelbase than the real car. Check out the DNA Ferrari replicas - they look amazing, but are actually 4 inches short iirc.
I wouldn't consider shortening a wheelbase - the engine bay on most cars is small enough as is, and you wouldn't want to make the cab any smaller.
