Is it a bad idea to put my name on my friend’s car title and then put insurance on in my name if his license is revoked?
Are there any legal senarios where my name on my friends car title and insurance, could possibly involve my wife? My name is on our house and our auto insurance but the insurance on my friend’s car would be from a different company.

Yes it is a bad idea unless you are absolutely the only one who will be driving this vehicle. You expose you and your wife to liability if your name is on the title and you allow someone else to drive particularly if they are an unlicensed driver whose license has been revoked. My advice is don't do it!
