From the Calfornia DMV web page on parking: When you park alongside a curb on a level street, the front and back wheels must be parallel and within 18 inches of the curb. Park parallel to the street if there is no curb.
Apparently it's 18 inches in most places.
18 inches from the curb.
7 inches from curb
18 inches
The standard rule for this is 12 inches (1 foot), although that varies from city to city. 18 inches for state of California

from what i remember of my driving lessons the car should be no further than 18 inches away from the curb when parked. any further and i was asked to call a taxi to reach the pavement!
Most states recommend that you keep your wheels about 6 inches away from the curb, but do not penalize you if your vehicle is within 18 inches from the curb. Anything further than that, and you fail the maneuver. The statute governing this distance is different from state to state, and maybe even city-to-city.
