Rough in 1/2 too short: Offset or Caroma?

[BSwanson]

The Toto Aquia II that I bought for my rehab bathroom doesn't fit by 1/2 in (the rough in is 11 1/2). I was hoping I could wiggle it enough, but no go. I could go on about how the contractor did this and I should have skinned him alive, but I still have to fix it. The floor is tiled and ready to go.
So, do I chop up the floor some and put in an offset - which doesn't give me the 1/2 in, but an entire 1 1/2 which is too much in this 5 ft wide space and I would hate to do it. Or do I replace the Aquia with a Caroma with the nifty adjustable flange. The problem with the Caroma is that it has a big footprint itself. Dual flush and water conservation is a big deal in my location. What I really want is 1/2 in!

Where is the interference? Is it the top of the tank?

It may be that shims can overcome a back-tilt if that is the problem.

Which Aquia do you have? The one-piece shows a nominal 3/4" behind it, so being a 1/2" short, it should work. You can usually fudge the position of the toilet about 1/4" or slightly more on the flange, so again, you should be able to make it work. If it's the 2-piece, you might be able to reset the tank so it goes forward slightly.

The Aquia will rough at 11.5"
If you need a little more, you can fudge the adapter away from the wall a bit. The exit on the trapway is 2" dropping into a 3" drain at the floor.
You already have room to play with without doing anything to the plumbing in the floor.
