Put an original bolt into an original wheel and measure how much thread protrudes on the inside. Then put the same bolt in the replacement wheel and measure the protrusion. The difference should tell you how much longer your new bolts should be.
Make sure to purchase bolts with the correct flange type for the wheels.

Thank you for the info when you mention the flange do you mean I should only buy bolts specific to Alfa Romeo

This is the flange:
There are usually different types or angles depending on manufacturer and certainly between steel and alloy wheels. So you need to check the flange is correct for the wheels you intend to put on.
This example in the picture has an 'adaptor' for conversion from one type to another.
