EWR had a ramp supervisor file a safety report about bringing in an Aircraft X aircraft into gate CXXX. The concern was that there is no stop mark for the Aircraft X painted on the gate lead in line; and that because the profile of the Aircraft X is different than the Aircraft Y it could create a safety concern. The Aircraft X has a wingspan that is 9 feet greater than that of Aircraft Y. This puts the wingtips closer to (and perhaps outside of) the designated painted safety zone clearance line. Over the previous week several Aircraft X planes were parked at the gate; fortunately without incident.When questioned; the ramp supervisor said it's a situation that everybody seems to be aware of but nobody seems eager to correct.
Ground Personal reported the aircraft parked in this ramp location are parked too close together. The agent states there is no stop mark on the ground for the larger sized aircraft.
