I'd like to go larger. Stock tires on my Titan are 265/70R18. I'm keeping the stock 18" wheels.

I do have a leveling kit. I also primarily drive on road so while i'd like some nice looking offroad tires, in reality I don't need them. I'm really shooting for safety as I do have kids in the truck with me. And i'd like a nice ride but also handles well going fast on mountain curves.

I also don't want any chance of rubbing at all. And don't want them to look like they're stuffed in there but I would like to go with something at least a little bit bigger.

Suggestions?

LT295/65R18 E in the DuraTrac. 33.1"
I just got them in the stock Off Road Titan size LT285/70R17 D, and they seem to be good tires, but more of a M/T than a A/T or Hwy. tire. So there are probably better choices available, for what you describe in your opening post. They would work fine for that, but they have a very aggressive tread. Nice size ... the 295/65.

The LT275/70R18 E are usually about 33.2" and 20 mm skinnier, (10 mm wider than your 265's), and are available in many brands and styles. To me the Michelin LTX A/T 2 and LTX M/S 2 look interesting in that size for more of an on road tread. They also have the DuraTracs in this size.

The DuraTracs look really good though, and are probably better in the snow, at least deeper stuff. They corner good, but their tall tread lugs feel a little less stable than the BFG A/T KO, and the Toyo M/Ts, that also saw a lot of curves.

Edit: another tire I would consider in the LT275/70R18 E, or LT285/65R18 D, (probably rides a little softer in its D load rating), is the Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10. They seem to be a good choice in an A/T, that have gotten some good feedback on here. The 285/65's are slightly wider and shorter then the 275/70's. Yeah, I'd probably get the D's ... they are about stock diameter, about 32.6" but 20 mm wider.
