This appears to be a giant crab spider (family Sparassidae) in the genus Olios - see http://tinyurl.com/28mhjbt for an example. Although large specimens are capable of giving one a painful bite, they are not dangerous to humans. Any spider found climbing on walls or ceilings is extremely unlikely to be a wolf spider.
