you can get some 305s and it'll fit with no rubbing, 315s might rub a bit if you don't have a leveling kit. I might be wrong on this one though. NITTO Terra Grapper has an agressive look, so does the ProComps. They're kinda expensive though.

Just purchased a set of Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo that same size.
They have an aggressive look to them, with alot less road noise than
the BFG's

They have about the same thread style as the BFGs. Looks good though. I was looking at the Kuhmos and they look pretty bad @ss, not sure if they have it for 17s though.

The BFG All Terrain have a very aggressive look with almost no road noise. I had them on my frontier crew cab and they were a great tire. It has a very long tread life and they can go through anything without a problem. Also they are not too expensive considering they are an all terrain tire. Just adding my .02.

Ditto what Goval said, the Nitto TG are awesome tires, plus with the name Nitto on the side no one gives you crap..

bfg all terrain ta/ko have a 40,000 mile tread life warranty, pro-comp all terrain has 50,000 mile warranty, not sure if the extreme all terrain does or not though

Chris are you looking for more aggressive looking tires or more aggressive performing? If it's performance you're interested in, don't discount the BFG - A/T's. Your stock tires are a "special" (meaning crap) compound made by BFG for the Nissan Titan. I sold mine at about 6000 miles and they only had about 25% tread life left in them. Basically, they are a crap tire.
I have "real", BFG-A/T's in 315/70/17 size on my stock offroad rims and they both look and perform great and hold up like you'd expect. Mud Terrains would work better for offroading, which I do a lot of, but MT's are notoriously poor performers in snow. We get a fair amount of snow here in SoCal at high elevations and I like to go up into it to play around. The A/T's are snow rated and I can say they perform very well in the snow I've taken them in.
The A/T's also perform pretty well offroad. I've not gotten stuck yet due to tire challenges.
If you're looking for more aggressive looking tires, M/T's of any brand will likely fill the bill. Some of them look really cool. I've never owned them on my Titan, so I can't comment on their performance with any real knowledge (so I won't).
Oh, one final thing. If you do go with 315" (or any 35" tire), don't forget the spare. My 315, BFG's fit nicely up under the bed in the spare tire well using the stock rims. I didn't even have to air it down to make it fit!!! I can't speak for other brands as they do vary in size somewhat. In all likelihood any would fit since mine seems to still have some wiggle room around it. Worst case, you just air it down.
Regards,
John

Chris, I have a lift kit and Fox Coilovers up front combining for about 6" of lift front and rear. I've heard of some folks cramming 35" tires into a leveled truck but I think they had to do some cutting to prevent rubbing around the front whell well.
I bought my BFG's from 4 wheel parts at an offroad show. I didn't get much off street price as tires are already aggressively priced. I maybe saved $100-$200 on five tires, if that.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
Regards,
John
