The alex 26" rim is a a newer rim so I would imagine it is a decimal and not fractional rim. This is not compatible with a 65oc tire. A great chart for tires is Sheldon's chart https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html more info then you would ever need.
Where are you reading the 38/32 part? on the tire?
