Default 2mm offset?

Anyone running 2mm offset wheels (20x9’s). Any of you find this too aggressive?

Your offset number does not compute. A 2 mm offset equates to 0.005 inches. I presume that's not what you're asking about....

Considering the most found stock offset is 44mm it is quite the change. A 2mm offset will put the wheel almost at the edge of the fender 1.6 inches further out. I use a 0 offset wheel myself but with a 8x17 wheel mainly to add track width. KM

Exactly, went from +44 to +2mm with 20x9 Fuel Contras. I’m not wondering if I should have gone with a +20 to keep them inside the wheel well.

That's entirely up to you and will limit your tire size choices.

right now I am running stock tires because they are 3 weeks old. I think I want a similar size tire next time but just more agressive looking. For some reason I’m now thinking they are too aggressive looking poking out but looking at them this morning they seem okay. Just don’t want rocks being fired all down the side of my truck.

My 0 off-set 17x8 with 275-70-17s. At the edge but not poking out. 9 inch wide I do not think would bother me much. KM

So incredibly jealous that Wisconsin has a plate with Road America on it. VA has the most boring plates in the country.

2mm = 0.0787402 inches, or 78.7402 thousandths.
