19s would be OK for a 34, in most cases look good too. BUT, be prepared to sacrifice a bit of ride confort as they will be riding on very low profile tyres to keep the rolling diameter the same as stock. Also, if you are thinkin of goin 19s, should definately lower it a tad as well otherwise it would prob look like a 4wd. Again, lowering your ride would probably cause you to lose a bit of comfort but you gain on handling. 18s would probably be the optimum size most ppl go for nowadays + tyres are cheaper too. I've seen 34s with 20s as well if all you want is bling and do not care for ride quality.

im worried if there will be any law or something the cops will say to defect me.

wat can i watch out for while buying rims and gettin them installed?

I'm not sure what the regulations would be in VIC but in NSW i know that for any owner certified modification (which you dont need any engineer's certificate), you cannot get wheels which are 1inch wider than you stock wheels, which in this case is 7.5.

As for rim diameter, I asked a highway patrol this question and he replied saying that it doesn't matter how big the tyres are, as long as the rolling distance does not exceed 15mm (or was it 15cm?) from the stock tyres. To show this wet the rolling surface of the stock tyre and the tyre you will be using with the 19's and roll them on dry ground for one revolution. If the distance of the other tyre is longer than 15mm (or 15cm? can someone confirm on this) then its illegal and you may need to get it engineered. But to be totally sure the best thing to do is consult the ADR.

It's good to know though that 19x9 at the front and 19x10 at the back will fit as i am planning to get 19x8.5 at the front and 19.9.5 at the back.

turns out 19s are to big.....they seem to go to close to the brakes....they told me i either need to trim down the brakes or add some space or something (forgot the details) which is illegal...so i just settled for 18".....saved me 800 bux
