Those babies are almost $65 a pop too....
sorry but I dont recall all the details of stuff---but do you still own the fenders rated to about a 35? I guess you dont or you would have tried them on already...
I dunno, a couple of mm's, 1.5 more on either side cant make a real world difference, ie they would do their job most likely perfectly well on 38s also......again, armchair views here on my part...not in front of me.

also not sure if I already said, but your photo of clearance with the 38s LOOKS like fenders would fit in without being overly tight....
