According to DiscountTireDirect, Tenzo DC-5 and Momo FXL2 wheels in 19x8.5 +45 will fit, so the 962's should also.

If you say they are Sportmax 962's, they only come in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with an offset of 35 only. They will fit flush, but if it is a very aggressive drop you may rub.

If they only come in a +35 offset, then 19x8.5 will rub with 235/35-19 tires on NF210 springs or any lower drop. BBN-Boys already found this out:

I have Tanabe NF210 springs (Drop 1.0" front / 1.7" rear).
Because they have slightly stiffer spring rates, I have seen people reporting no rubbing with the above tire & wheel specs on TRD or Eibach Pro-Kit springs.

Another possibility would be to run 225/35-19 tires, but I make no guarantees regarding rubbing.
