In most cases you would have to weld a washer on, but it really depends on the arms you get.

Personally, I would weld them up and get rid of the Cams altogether. I assume you would get Adjustable control arms, correct? No reason to have bolts any longer...

Yes, you could install the the aftermarket arms with the cam bolts already installed. Assuming the arms are adjustble, welding the washers is better because you don't have to worry about the cams coming loose and moving.
