Assuming its the driver side wheel, the battery and wiring harness sits close by. Open the hood and tell me where the smoke comes from. If I read correctly, you replaced the ignition switch. Is there a possibility you may have some wires not in the correct place anymore? Does the car start? Turn over? Make funny noises? Smell like burning wire? rick
Out of the wheel well?
Sounds like the harness to the starter, maybe the battery cable to the starter, or just the starter went poof!

If its the steering wheel then there is a recall, take it to a GM dealer.
Is the recall below was done on your car?
