That was my concern as well. I was thinking that alloy wheel isn't as strong as steel so it may be more sensitive and prone to issues during the enlargement process. I mean its only 2mm, but I don't know too much about how its done.

Actually, the milled amount is 1/2... meaning, there are two sides to a circle... meaning, if the difference is 2 mm [Mitsu 108mm Hub Center vs. Toyota 106mm Hub Center] then the milled quantity is actually only 1 mm.

I strongly believe you would have zero issues with such minute milling... remember, there are six lugs/ nuts holding the wheel on.

The lug nuts actually fit very specifically through openings in the wheels... correct torquing is paramount.
