In the available wheels, is there a big $ difference between 9.5" wide and 10" or 10.5" wide? If not, and if tire pricing is such that you do have to go with 265/40's this time around, know that you can mark time by fitting them on wheels all the way out to 10.5" (max recommended width) which leaves you some room to grow next time around.
This past weekend I finally got to drive a 6th gen, briefly but hard enough to get some slip angles going on a couple of occasions (the owner is the other grandpa to two of my grandkids). 245/40's on 8.5 and 275/35's on 9.5 just aren't enough (but you know that). Even 265/40's on 10" would be a significant enough upgrade to be worth considering, with the idea of 285/35's later on in mind. For 295's or 305's you'd be better off getting 10.5" now, I don't think even
I'd try stretching 265/40's all the way out to 11".
