Not much, depends on setup and flares. Will look like its just a little wider tire from outside.

You might want to be more specific than that as different wheels have different backspacing. So not all wheels with spacers will look the same. Also, tire size plays a roll in this as well. Do you know what kind of wheels and size tires you're trying to get an idea of?

Just ordered some spacers 
This is what it will look like in terms of stance with 1.25" spacers and those wheels. I have different wheels but they have the same 16x8 with 4.5 bs.
I love the stability with the wide stance but be aware that you will have to do some trimming to prevent your tires from rubbing. You may be fine with the 265's, but with my 285's, I had to roll my rear fenders and do lots of hammering on the firewall in the front.

I like your stance with the spidertrax. What size tires are you running. I want to push my wheels out a smidge to line up with limited fender flares. I'm running 265/75/16. I didn't want to go more than 1" spacer but yours looks real good!
I have a pair of 1.25 spidertrax but have not put them on her. I am barely rubbing without them on the inner corner of the running board. Not sure if the wheel spacers will help or hurt. Guess we will see!
No I don't want to ditch the running boards. In have a small child and my wife is 5 ft tall.

The wheel spacers will make the rubbing worse unfortunately. The farther out the wheels are, the larger the arc they take when you steer and therefore will rub more. If its just the inner corner of the rubbing board, maybe you can trim it a little bit to eliminate the rub.

Im running spider trax 1.25 on stock back spaced wheels and 305/70r16s which sit pretty wide. I get a lot of fender to tire contact when wheeling in the front. Just remember if you wheel hard. The more spacer and backspacing the more rubbing you get as your push the tire out the wheel well.

I saw in your sig that you have a 1.5" body lift. How much did that help with the rubbing when you put your spacers on? I have a set of spidertrax 1.25 that I haven't installed yet. I do plan on getting a 2inch body lift soon & debating if I should wait to put the spacers on once I have the 2" body lift installed to minimize trimming. I currently don't have any rubbing with my BFG 285s on stock wheels with my 3" suspension lift but I'm assuming I will encounter some rubbing if I put them on without the body lift.

I had body lift before spacers if i remember right. I know it helps a lot. If I didnt have it I would pop my fender flares off all the time.
