Overhanging tyre when parking

On my German holiday trips, the apartment's garage has these movable ramps to maximize space.
See photo below.

I always take time to ensure the full width of the tyres are on the ramp.

My question is, would it matter (weight distribution/suspension/whatever) if part of the tyre , say 1/3 max was hanging off the edge?
Would make parking easier and give more space to the vehicle on the right.
Not knowing much, I worry that somehow the weight of vehicle not being on full tyre width would be detrimental in some way.

We normally go for a couple of weeks, so not a very long time.

Did ask at Seat garage and they not able to offer an opinion.

Thanks
Joseph

I would think for a couple of weeks it’ll be fine, the tyre won’t be on the weight limit at 100% footprint so 66% surface contact may probably be still in limits, weight limits on the sidewall might help calculate.?
