I need to run 2in conduit up the exterior wall of my house and then through the wall and then straight up into my main panel. It will be going through the siding and then plywood. Do I use an LB on both sides and do 2 - 90° bends or is there an offset piece that can run in this situation? I'm running 2/0 Mobile Home Feeder.

Can you LB right into the back of the panel. Sometimes back to back LBs can be a PITA.

Agreed.
Another alternative is a roomier 'pull box' or splitter inside below the panel.

Use a 6”x6”x24” Long trough (aka: gutter) under the panel and ****** into the bottom of the panel.

IMHO, all of the suggestions seem viable.

Not enough room in the box to come in through the back, it's too tight all the way around. Thinking a larger box inside the garage below the panel is the best bet to give me more room to make the bend up and in.
An Lb on the exterior will have a piece of pipe straight into the back of the box. How is that too tight? You make it what you need.

It's too tight in the panel itself, not even sure if I would have room to drill a 2in hole from the back, but I will measure and see if I can make it work.

You mean too many wires? Thought this was a new panel. Most have a punch out already. If new just gets another panel and save yourself pain. Pics would help if I’m off the mark

It's my main house panel. It is a small panel though so not a lot of clearance around the edges. It does look like I will have room to come through the back if I move a couple breakers around. I have long gfci breaker that needs moved up and then I will have clearance to drill a 2in hole, it's currently blocking a spot that has a knockout in the bottom corner.
