I’m purchasing new rims and tires for my Wolverine and I want to make sure that there wouldn’t be problems with them going together(I’ve never bought atv wheels) will 10inch wide tires be okay on 8inch wide rims?

More importantly, measure clearance inside the stock tires to suspension components. Make sure the rims have the same off set as stock ones, or you might have to run spacers. Use a torque wrench and recheck torque after a few miles, I 've had lug nuts loosen on aluminum rims. 8" is the width at the bead/rim, 10 wide tire should be fine.
