boots with lower performance have wider toe boxes, but thats your decision...some shops also have equipment to stretch the plastic to make it a tad bigger

get checked out by a bootfitter. i can't recomend a good boot without really seeing your foot but if it's as wide as you say it is, check out the Atomic B-series boots they're MF'n wide

Take a look at the Head MOJO boots. Fairly wide, and have a shell insert you can put in or out if you want a narrower foot. But I am not sure if the new ones come with the insert (its called the Full CUstom System)

head boots and atomic boots will generally run a little wider than average. Why are you opposed to getting the boots blow out? Takes a little time, and should be free from the place that you buy your boots from.

Right on!!!! A boot fitter can basicly do anything to your boots. They are magicians , and you should trust them a lot.

Why wouldn't you want to get them blown out? I always buy ski boots that fit in my heel and are too narrow everywhere else and then get them blown out so they fit like a glove.
