The change of a tire is a relatively small cost upgrade, they really said the 38 would fit on those stock rims? Please post a pic when you get it, you don't see enough of them on here
Here is the e-mail that I sent directly to Trek regarding larger tires:

From: Michael <***
@***.com> Can a 2011 Trek 7.5 FX accept a Bontrager H2 700x35c tire? I'm looking to soften the ride a little and would like to put a slightly larger tire on it.
And here is the response they sent me:

Hello Michael,
Thank you for writing in. You can use a 38c tire but if you want to go a little bigger like a 42c I would test fit first.
Thank you,
