Degrees of steering ?

I am trying to figure out how many degrees of steering is normal on a seven. I have set mine up with close to 45 degrees but its making the bodywork less than easy as it takes alot of room in the wheel well . Just curious as to how much steering is the norm.
I know its a pain when you cant turn sharp enough as I just had a nissan altuma as a rental and it was a pain in the arse in parking lots as it had a huge turning radius.
Thanks

a seven with a 2.3m wheelbase and a 1.4m front track will have a kerb to kerb turning circle of 10m with the outer wheel turned by 28° and the inner by 38° (100% ackerman). For a 9m circle you need 32° and 44°
