I notice my car's previous owner had 20" FE wheels on a car that wasn't optioned for them and he changed the front arms in 2012 (it was a November 2001 model).
Or maybe it doesn't matter, front arms wear out anyway with time?

They do wear out anyway, usually it's the bushes that go first but on occasion ball joints might give up as well. The difference in arms for 20" factory wheels is bigger diameter taper joint on 1 of the bottom arms. I assume this is to protect aluminium hub from damage.
