Ok go out and look at your tires and wheel wells.........38's will be 1 1/2 inch bigger all the way around and they will be wider.

I run 38's when playing around
I have 6 1/2" suspension and 2" body

You will hit your front fenders twisting and turning into a hole or rut
but I have never bent or damaged the fender just the chrome trim

It depends on your intended use. If you are just street driving they will be fine. If you are into heavier off-roading, especially on extreme turns and bumps they will probably rub the back corner of the fenders. The off-set of the wheels will have some affect too.

yup, these are 38.5 TSLs with 6" suspension, 3" body lift. body lift has since been removed and fenders hacked. i'll be running 38.5s or 39.5s on mine with under 6" of lift.
