My tire is a 40-559 in metric, or I reckon, around 26x1.5" in standard units, so I think 38s would fit just fine.
So far, my opinions of the rim are high. I know the rim is an upgrade over the Alexrims DH-19s that come stock, but they really do ride so much better. I run the same tires at the same PSI, so the better ride must be attributable to the rim. With relatively high PSI, I still feel pebbles and roots and all, but other than that, it is like riding on a layer of butter.
I'm not a physics guy, but I'd imagine that the better ride could come from a wider rim. The result is that the tire's sidewalls are more straight, rather than curved in, if that makes sense.
