So I have this issue with wide grip pull-ups I suck at them and I don't know how to fix this.I have stalled out at around 10-12 body weight pull-up per set but I can't seem to do any more reps and I can't seem to add any weight. Dips on the other hand I'm adding like 5-7.5 lbs per week with my dip belt Do I have overly weak lats or something? How do I break through this plateau I've had for months?
I would just lower your reps and add weight. Do that for a couple of weeks, and then attempt to do BW pull-ups.

If I add like 5lbs I can only do like 5 reps I don't know if that's enough to stimulate my muscles?

Yes, especially if you're doing 4-5 sets, also the basic rep range for building strength. Which in turn will help increase reps at a lower weight, i.e. your body weight.
I wouldn't do wide grip pullups until you've mastered regular pullups. Wide grip pullups are much, much harder than regular pullups. You just have to get stronger.What do you do for pullups currently?
