Apparently it's 18 inches in most places.
Although it may vary from pace to place usually you must be within 12 in from the curb
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.
That depends on the local laws that govern your state or country. In Germany the vehicle must be parked "with the flow of traffic". To answer this question directly use you local Department of Driver Services, or Department of Motor Vehicles.
The standard rule for this is 12 inches (1 foot), although that varies from city to city. 18 inches for state of California

Palmdale, CA says you need to be within a foot and a half (18")22502(a) CVC - Curb Parking. Every vehicle parked at a curb where two-way traffic is permitted must be stopped or parked with the right hand wheels parallel to and within 18 inches of the curb. Where no curbs are present, right hand parallel parking is required, unless otherwise indicated by signs or other markings. Prohibited would be parking with the LEFT side wheels to the curb or parking at an angle to the roadway on the unpaved shoulder of a street.I presume it is the same for most places in California.
Usually 12 inches or less.
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.
18 inches
Wheels Within Wheels was created in 2003-03.
A parked car should not protrude into the traffic lane at all. Get your wheels within 6 inches of the curb and you'll be out of the traffic lane. If you have an oversized vehicle, find off-street parking.
