If it's a different size wheel / tyre , that could cause light to come on . Sure it's the right wheel for car and not fouling somewhere causing noise and overheating ? Could as be brake fault but I would eliminate that wheel firstly by changing over to other side or fitting correct wheel and seeing if fault now occurs there . Also check brake fluid level . If you want to try that and get back to forum if still having trouble , someone will advise further .
