Biggest tyres to put on a Crosstrail 2017

Hello! I have a Crosstrail Elite 2017 model and I have the stock 700x38C tyres on it, now I would like some knobbly MTB tyres as i'd like to do some trail riding and the stock tyres are more for tarmac.

I understand I can use 29 inch tyres but before I buy any can anyone tell me the max width I can buy without them rubbing on my frame?

edit: forgot to say, it's an XL if that matters, and i'm looking at some Panaracer Comet Hardpacks in 29x2.1

Just measure your frame at the closest points to your tires. Leave a little room for error. Bob's your uncle.
