Rear pad thickness 15.88mm

Don't know if anyone has ever measured it, but anybody know what the thickness of the inboard and outboard pads on the rear is supposed to be on a set of new pads? I just checked with three rebuilt calipers, and retracting the piston fully still doesn't give sufficient clearance to install the caliper on the rotor.
The pads I have measure 15.88mm on both the inboard and outboard pads, the rotor thickness is 9.0mm, and the approximate clearance I end up with is somewhere around 8.6mm.
I'm suspecting the pads I have are oversized, but just wondered if anyone could confirm that. The measurement of 15.88 is from the surface of the lining to the backing, not the lining thickness, so that's what I'm trying to determine, whether it's a caliper or a brake pad issue
