The difference between 38/42 is pretty negligibly - Might look odd though. Also would it really help the BB clearance? A bigger rear tire wouldn't really raise so much as pivot it slightly, right?
Just go 38/38. Plenty of people have done that on a pacer with success.

Cheers, I think your right it would be pretty negligible. Overthinking a bit.

Converting my Surly Pacer to 650b (I'm bored...) Looks like it will fit a 38 in the front and a 42 in the rear. Any negatives (other than aesthetic) to having a bigger tyre in the back? Having the 42 would help with bb clearance (the bb drop is 72)
