the car has gobs of torque and hp, yet everything I find (unless big money custom setups) are 8 or 8.5 inches wide and non-staggered..

There are a lot of options for aftermarket wheels that are reasonably priced. What are you looking to do? Up size wheels, tires? More aggressive stance (less offsets)?

18 or 19, staggered. maybe a bit wider than stock is fine. go on tire rack and everything is 8 or 8.5" wide non-staggered. I have zero traction in the car with a 275 pilot sport with full tread in the rear. no way im going narrower than that,

What kind of budget? "Big money" means different things to different people

Lots of options in 19". For example: front 19x8.5 +35ET, rear 19x9.5 +35ET.

Check out these sites as examples (plug in your year/make/model) and it will give you several options:
