There are offset flanges available, but you have to remove the existing one.

RE: Offset flange - how long is the pipe from front to rear? Do you have to tear up the slab do install it? |

You may be able to find a toilet that fits perfect without busting up the floor! There are toilets that will fit less than one of the standard rough in sizes. What is the dimension from the wall to the center of the flange?

If I had a choice, it would be a 10" toilet instead of using an offset flange, (to try and fit a 12" model), if that's the scenario your faced with. |

There are circumstances like a 12" rough Toto Drake will go onto a 10 7/8 actual rough in. Or, the toilet that Packy has mentioned several times that is adjustable from 10-14" rough. Its not my favorite toilet as it is a one of a kind flushing mechanism but it would also work.[www.niagaraflapperless.ca] |

There is no way to tell what has to be done, without seeing the actual installation. |
