12" from the wall finished surface. Make sure you leave enough elbow room each side. Take care with the placing of the feed pipe.
*12 is standard... 10 & 14 usually available.. you can rough it further away if you want.. but the space between the tank and the wall will increase....nigel's elbow room is important.. 36 is recommended.. 30 absolutely minimum.... try to keep it at 36....
*Good responses...if you are operating under the UPC it must be a 15" minimum from center to side wall. if you go over 18" you start having trouble reaching the TP so if you have a space wider than 36" consider sliding it to one side.The 12" from finished wall to center of closet flange is correct also. Watch out for the floor joists. There are offset flanges available if you need a couple of extra inches. But they tend to clog up more I've noticed. Also if you buy a 10" or 14" rough in toilet...OUCH! They isn't cheap pal.
*12" from the finished wall (not baseboard) Buy the toilet first. Measure from center to be sure. I usually find it is 12 and 1/4 or 1/2.14" roughins are fairly old fashioned, and haven't seen them in construction (except for historical homes) in years.
