I guessed they might work. I got 1.35 Kojaks (probably 31-32 mm actual) under SKS fenders on mine, without a lot of clearance, so I expect that you might squeeze them in. Too bad I sold it!
I can get true 38s (559 bsd) on the Joe Starck but if the size creeps up even a couple of mm they’ll be skimming the chainstays. They clear single pivots just fine.
