Wider wheels accomodate wider tires. The amount of tire touching the road is called the 'contact patch'. Generally speaking, the larger/wider the contact patch the better grip your vehicle will get and that's good.
Go wide if you can afford it.

Well, that's great news . . . although even if the wheels are the same cost from 8 to 9 to 10" in width keep in mind that wider rubber costs more.
I have 245x35X19 in front - tires are $215 each. (8.5" wheel)
In back I have 275X30X19 - tires are $265 each. (9.5" wheel)
