6 to 18 inches from the curb
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.

Don't leave the engine on. Set the parking brake and turn the wheels toward the curb.
