I'd have to find the article I read, but it was GRM talking about their results where some heavier versions of the same wheel was faster in autox/track use than lighter versions because the wheel didn't have as much flex between the hub and the rim, in other words, across the spokes.
I would say that the farther in the less flex will be an issue. There's also heat related expansion to consider though. I've seen an EVO at the track have wheel to caliper contact when it never did on the street, no real damage but the owner was confused by it, whether he did something wrong (side loading impact for example) or it was just heat/flex I'm not sure.
Either way, 2mm is enough and there looks to be even more than the 2mm available here so it should be fine anyways. I think Brembo says 3mm though. Either way, with that measurement from Jeremy I'd rock it until they hit
