On the Supra caliper, the measurement from the hub mounting surface
to the outermost 'overhang' of the caliper is:
39mm or 1.53"

This is called the brakes' "X Factor"

Great info!

If someone were measuring their wheels to see if there was enough clearance, would they rest the measuring device flat on the rotor and measure outward at the same point where the brakes are?

Do you happen to have that information for other big brakes as well?
