no one know because you running a wider tire than your rims, because of the wear factor. too the much air the middle wear out faster. too little air the side will wear out.

Yes, I would think that is too high. My 01 states 32 PSI for the stock 225 50's. I have Nitto Exteme 555's 245/45 on my stock rims and I have been running 31 PSI to make them wear more evenly. 6000 miles so far and no wear problems. I would bet your car rides rough with 38 PSI.
