10 gauge is fine and all you're doing is bracketing around the ammeter. A couple to three feet should be more than plenty I would think. Now, if you would like to "taste test" your shunt first, just put alligator clips on the end of the shunt wire first and temporarily install it. Then take your car out and observe the behavior of the ammeter as it will be slightly muted as to what you're used to. If it's too muted for your tastes, try a 12 gauge shunt instead.
