OTT 12v+ is far too big as well 1 is not even a gauge number. If you are referring to the wire on the alt post to the batt then, OEM setup is 8GA wire that is crimped into the 4GA wire coming from the battery to the starter and the fuse box.
A 4GA min should be used if you enhance grounding points.
If you are referring to the exciter wires on the ALT then 18GA will be fine.
