I think it would be better to measure from the hub.

Check this too.

Looks like close to 1.5 and 1.25?

Measure from center of wheel cap / dead center of wheel to center of bottom of fender lip (THIS IS CORRECT WAY TO MEASURE). This way it makes no difference what wheels or tires anyone has.

That said stock center of wheel to center of wheel arch bottom of fender lip is = 14.50 Inches

My measurement using this method is just over 13" now lowered so I'm just shy of being 1.5" lower then stock.

And this is true for both ends/all corners?

YES, only some sag or wear of suspension changes this on stock, otherwise it's right in that region for comparing to know how much you are lowered on your given system.
