    you could set up an appearance with and extra stroke that uses the Convert to Shape > Rectangle effect, with a relative size of +20mm in each dimension:

    you could then apply this to other shapes via an action if you want. or just save it as a graphic style and click on it.

    if you want it to be a real shape as opposed to an appearance, include object > expand appearance in the action.
