lol the offset calculator says "SAME"... but nice maths! 
Good news is, my eyes aren't that good to spot .35mm difference!
I'm not concerned with rubbing on your setup, as it's nothing similar with mine. My tire will be different, my suspension is different, my alignment is different. I just wanted a reference point before i pull the trigger and "Add to Cart"
I'm on bilstein coilovers, cusco front sway bar, and about -.5* camber. I'm going to dial in another -1* or so for grip and clearance sake
The inside edge of my Kumho track tires still have the nipples from the molding... and they're almost to the wear bars at the center/outer edge
Thanks again though, this will be a big help. And i promise to keep you posted if i do the setup, and accredit your help once i make a "showoff" thread like yours

Oh i know you wouldnt be stock as you said a track car but i wanted to give you a frame of reference as far as the rubbing goes for a stock setup. I snapped a couple pics, i tried to get as even with the fender as i could to give a "real" estimate of how far they poke because it can be deceiving at times. let me know if these will do or if you need others. Good luck!

THIS IS PERFECT. I appreciate you doing this for me! 
I've heard there's an unmarked car, with tinted windows, and full of men in suits... I've also heard it's full of steel briefcases full of REP and it's HEADED YOUR WAY lol.

Just get the TPMS's installed when you get the tires put on. They should be able to program them at the tire shop.

Nope, Most use new sensors. They're like $2 each. It's easier and less chance of something going wrong.

Only squids start out on a 600.
250 is a good choice, although I'd definitely go used. Buy for $2500, ride for awhile (once you think you're ready to upgrade....ride it for another year after that), sell for $2500 lol

A true squid start's out on a 1000cc bike. We have plenty of them around here easily identifiable by the flapping wife beaters and extra baggy jeans..
There is nothing wrong with a 250 but it's still barely more powerful than a scooter. At least with a 600 you've got decent power and it's a more comfortable bike IMO.
I have a class with a guy who dd's a Daytona 675R. Triumph makes beautiful and powerful bikes.
