No. The surface on the rotor that the wheel bolts to on both the M3 and the ti are exactly the same distance apart from left to right. Don't get confused by rotor thickness... it refers to the friction surface.

Also the larger diameter wheels are needed because of the rotors, not the calipers, but there are a few 16 inch wheels that will work on M3 brakes.
