If the ISP allows port forwarding for wireless connections (as you said in your post) you just get yourself a WiFi router that can work in bridge mode.
Then you forward your ports (in the ISP router) to your bridge router and then you log into your bridge router and forward ports to your wired devices.
This assumes that the WiFi connection on the bridge router acts as WAN and performs NAT for its wired devices. If the bridge router is really just a bridge then you should only have to forward ports on the ISP router.
