From the photo above from markjenn, the 'X' frame certainly has adequate clearance for its 38s; whether that would be true for the other carbon Sirrus frames, only one way to know for sure, absent confirmation from Specialized: measure and/or try it and see. Dealers should be able to help on this.
Check some Sirrus bikes at the shop or e-mail Specialized directly. I have had success e-mailing them and they get back to me within a day or 2.
