yes most accurate is to measure betwene bump stops, or bump stop and the steel it contacts, as tyre size variations etc can cause inaccuracies with other methods. i dont know what it should measure though. someone might, or just measure a few at car yards and get the average of the un lifted ones for an idea

Hub to guard is what most suspension suppliers use, or rim to guard and tell them what size rims it has.
