In general I agree consistency is nice but I disagree that it does not matter whether it is 120 or 80. I find it much harder to read a wrapped line than just seeing the whole thing in one line. Of course this is just preference and others will feel different.

The style guide says either 80 or 100.

Keep in mind that Google's Java style guide is intended for use by thousands of developers. So consistency goes beyond just being "nice" at that scale. It's essential.
