Depends on how much yeast you pitched. For a properly pitched lager, I have fermented down into the 40s. If you did not make a large enough starter, you are better off pitching warmer and waiting for the fermentation to start before lowering the temperature.

The temperature range is between 46-58 f according to Wyeast Labs.
