I see it too. It's the result of putting a wider tire on a slightly narrower rim. Kind of the opposite of the "tire stretching" that seems popular with the VW crew (putting a narrower tire on a wider rim, resulting in a thinner looking sidewall). Essentially in this case you're pulling the bead in a bit from the sidewall, resulting in a the appearance of a slight bulge at the edge of the tire.
I'm not sure if this will cause any problems.
