Default New brake job question...

Ok,I just but some new pads on my wolverine (first time for me) The job seems have to gone real well but,the pads seem to be rubbing on the roters when brakes are not applied..Not that bad to where you cant spin them free hand on the jack..But is this kinda normal till the pads wear in a bit,or did I do something wrong..BTW the brakes work really well now when applied,My fronts were to the point to where they were useless before hand lol..Thanks

Sure your ebrake is adjusted right?
Take the caliper apart and clean it. Then it might slide a little further and clear the rotor.

I'm pretty sure that a little rubbing is normal when you first change them. I had the same thing on my warrior when I changed the rear, and a little bit into the ride, the rubbing was gone (completley!!). If it does not stop after a while, just double check to see if you did it right. Make sure everything is nice and snug and straight. And, possible check rotor for warping

I don't know where the parking brake is on your wolverine, but just make sure it is not tight. Possibly the same thing with the brakes
