Definitely not a Wolf Spider. It's some type of Crab Spider. Either way it would have been fish food in my house.

ooh
giant crab spiders are large, nocturnal spiders. They are fairly common in desert areas around Tucson. These spiders don't spin webs, instead these wandering hunters will stalk and chase their insect prey. Giant Crab Spiders have a leg span of 2.25 inches (5.7 cm) or more, but despite their large size, they are excellent climbers and are often found crawling around on walls and even ceilings

Giant Crab Spiders should never be picked up or handled with bare hands (shudder) because they will bite, but they are not dangerous to non-invertebrates.
