You should use the rear axle as a guidline, not the B-pillar, it's more accurate, and it's how a 2-point reverse turn is taught to be done by driving instructors here.
Driving exams involve performing a 2-point reverse turn with the rear inside wheel not going further away than 1 meter from the kerb, no more than two stops (except for traffic/safety related reasons), no more than one engine stall, no forward movement and no contact with the kerb itself.

I'm mostly parking in lots with perpendicular parking on both sides of the lane. The only curb involved is the one at the back of the space I'm backing into (unless there's a pull-through from the other side, then not even that).
- ferongr 7y agoThe "inside" one obviously. The 2-point reverse turn is more designed to test your skill into reversing outside a blocked street back into a perpendicular street, but the skills involed apply to reverse angle parking too.
