You're back in special-order mode, then.

A few seconds with a table saw and you can have square edges. The
difference in width won't matter.

Thought of that unfortunately I havent been able to find any that would be
wide enough after they are trimed.

Sure. Trex makes it, I don't know who else does. The trex trim
comes in 5/4 x 6" or 8", maybe wider. It is rounded a little at
the corners (maybe 1/16" roundover), but if you want it perfectly
square, then you could by the 8" wide stuff and rip it.
