Default Piston compression help

I ordered some forged piston from probe and when i recieved them, the dome lookes huge...

i intentionally wanted 12:1 in my LS VTEC. These things look like i'll be in the 13's, and i want it for a semi daily driver.

The box reads on the piston info:

3.209/ 1.180/ dome top .827

could anyone tell me what this will put me at, setup is a LS block, LS crank, Scat LS rods, B16 head, OEM gasket.

thanks in advance.

0.5mm overbore actually will change the compression a bit--if you got say 12:1 at 81mm, with the same dome size you would probably be at 12.3 at 81.5mm.
