Burning/Hot Smell From Wheel Well
After my daily commute ~35 miles, mostly interstate, I notice a hot or burning smell from the rear passenger side wheel well. It's a faint smell standing at the rear door. It's a very clear smell when I crouch down near the wheel.

I do not have the same smell on the driver side.

I've taken it to the dealer as it's still under warranty, but they could not find anything wrong.

2018 TRDORP with the wheels and tires changed to TRD Black Matte Wheels and 265/17 Cooper Discoverer AT3s. Stock shocks/No lift or spacers.

Any ideas on the possible causes?
