Is it okay to offset the trap this much?

I'm working in a super tight spot with a cement foundation wall, a doorway and floor joists in the way, so I needed to offset the bathtub trap about a foot using long 90 degree 1 1/2" elbows. I have it dry venting 45 degrees out of a cutout in the foundation wall, because I don't think venting horizontally about 10 inches is allowed. So, does this look okay? Would there be a better method to do this? Any advice would be appreciated.

The wye for the vent is installed facing the wrong direction, and the vent must not fall below 45 degrees of slope.

I don't see much in the way there of placing the trap directly under the drain up high enough so the trap arm is just clearing the bottom of the joist.

Thanks for the response. The only issue with placing the trap directly under the drain would be the size and location of the bulkhead. I'd perfer to run everything along the wall in the same location to reduce the bulkhead size if possible.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
