Wut?
The wiring size and fuse size for an alternator upgrade are driven by the alternator's maximum output rating - what alternator did you put in? If you haven't, why did you do the wiring first? You may not have put in sufficient circuitry for the alternator you're thinking about - and you'll end up doing the job twice (which is something I really HATE doing.)
So, I'd need more information before I could even speculate an answer for you...
