Some tyres have sidewalls that stick out a little bit from the rim... My falkens have it to a certain extent and so do most other lower profile tyres.
You would have to hit the kerb with reasonable force to scratch the rims with these sort of tyres

As Toobs suggested, look for tyres that have them...
Or simply adjust your passenger side mirror to the ground and watch closely when you park...

Bridgestone Potenzas have pretty big rim protectors, you'd have to be trying to scratch your rims....that said previous owner of my car, minus driving skill and right tyres has made a right mess of my rims, its on the list of things to do
