Hi I have a set of 45mm hammered honjos over a set of 35mm Bon Jon Pass tires on a 62 Quickbeam and the fit is TIGHT at the rear brake bridge. That said it works. I cant imagine 38s with this setup. I avoid the wheel removal problem by using a Phil hub where I remove the axle completely from either side and drop the wheel vertically.
