can someone give me some advice about installing a victorian toilet?

Question

it has an oak flushbox here is the problem i bought the toliet before i measured the distance from the wall to the flange bolt and it is an uncommon 14 inches i then noticed the old toliets tank was 2 inches from the wall no wonder it gave so many problems anyway i was thinking i could extend the back of the flushbox by 2 inches instead of installing an offset flange i hear the offset flange is a big job thanks for help

Answer 1

Smart man! That is exactly the way to fix it. A 2x4 attached to the stud will make it stable and will be unseen.

Answer 2

Anything but the offset flange, They destroy the flush power of the toilet big time
