Agreed with those who say 2mm is too little clearance. I see paint worn off and chipped frequently on close clearance frames, the crown's underside is a common spot for this. I have seen the results of accidents from something getting jammed in the tire/crown gap. Not common but it only takes one time to make your day a bad one.
