Distance from back of rear wheel to front AND rear bumper of 3, X and S

I am on vacation without my Tesla 3, but a question just came up at work about the best distance to place a curb infront of the new charging stations -- intended to protect the charging station from getting hit. They were going to place them a good distance away because the charging cable is long, but then realized if they placed them too far out, the cars might stick out into the roadway. To find the best distance, am wondering if anyone can tell me:

For each model (3, S and X), the:
(1) Distance from back of the rear wheel (not the center of the wheel) to the end of the rear bumper
(2) Distance from the back of the rear wheel (not the center of the wheel) to the end of the front bumper

Thanks in advance!

Using the published specs for Model 3 for overall length: 185"
Measured distance from back of rear tire, assuming 5" concrete bumper/curb to rear bumper of car: 28.5"
Therefore, distance from back of rear tire to front bumper: 156.6"
