The M3 is .5mm wider diameter.
The fine thread pitch is different between the M2.5 and M3.
M2.5 fine thread pitch is 0.45
M3 fine thread pitch is 0.5
M2.5 and M3 course thread pitch are both 0.35

Hi, I had a similar question, and I am not sure of the answer yet:
For the M2.5 Nylon screw set: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3658
Is the pitch 0.45 or 0.35?
