They're 1.25" thick, so your total track width will increase by 2.5".

If you want to have a wider stance than that, then a new set of wheels might be your best option. Obviously new (quality) wheels are going to cost more, but that's a decision that only you can make.

A word of caution about cheap wheels. There are plenty out there and some of them aren't worth what you'd get for 'em at the scrapyard. Low-dollar wheels tend to be difficult, if not impossible) to balance properly, bend, warp easily from brake heat or a minor hit on a rock.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING!


Whip out your googler and get busy.

Keep in mind that steel wheels weigh two to three times what an alloy wheel weighs.

It makes a difference in fuel economy and performance too.
