So, my two questions are, Exactly how much thread do i need protruding from the wheel for it to be 'safe' ? 
And from where can i get longer wheel bolts?

Clean up a standard bolt, put some graphite gease in the hub thread, and re-fit the standard alloy... This'll give you a good idea how many threads 'bite' on the hub.
And
Yes you can buy longer bolts, but make sure the bolt head angle matches the alloy...
You don't want a 'V' shaped head in a 'U' shaped hole... (said the actress to the Bishop)
