I think 0 gauge might be overkill. Considering it's only a few feet for the run from your alternator to your battery, and I believe the peak output of the i4 alternator is 100 amps, I would use 4 gauge wire. But, what do I know?

Nada, zip, zilch, zero, nothing.
Just kidding Tim. The man does know his shit. I'd listen to what he says.

Tim does know his shit but overkill in this situation isn't gonna do harm, not financially either because I got the wire for free

You can do what you want, but I wouldn't go with anything bigger than 2 gauge. 1/0 is just going to be difficult to work with. That's why I recommended using 4 gauge. It's going to be easier to work with, capable of handling the current from your alternator, and less expensive to fuse. Yes, I did recommend fusing the alternator wire in the Big 3 upgrade. I wouldn't add the wire without fusing it if you don't want to flambé your engine compartment.

Lol, flambe. My friend gave me 0 gauge wire from an amp that was already fused. I know it's a pain in the ass to work with but I got it for free so I'll live

I'll be using 4 gauge for mine. I just need an in line fuse holder with a 100 amp fuse.

Probably no more than 4 or 5 feet. I just need a fuse holder since I already have 4 gauge cable and plenty of ring terminals.

Could this potentially solve the headlights dimming between the A/C cycles?

I'm not really sure, but my guess is no.

For doing the Big 3 upgrades, you're paying for a bunch of stuff you're not going to use.
