I need to move the toilet, left of it’s original position, somewhere in the range of 3″ to 6″.
What would be the best way to do this? I’ve considered offsetting with a pair of 3″
street 45’s which would give about a 3″offset, would that restrict the flow too much?

That should be fine; the less angle the better the flow. Luck.
would there be an advantage to go to the 4",considering the bends?
Where I live [N.E.] you can pick up two toilets on a 3 in. branch on the horizonal, you don't have to go to 4 in., no problem. Lots of luck.
if you can live with 2" you can use an offset hub/flange... very easy...

How much offset (center to center) would a "offset /hub flange give me?
Isn't it bit unorthodox to use 2"?
Nice try. The offset flange would give you a 2" move.

Yes!
it's not 2" pipe... it's a watercloset (toilet) flange that has an offset built into the hub/flange... they are made for 3 or 4" pipe but with a builtin offset 2" max is what i've seen... pretty common where plumbing or walls were laidout wrong.. but in anycase allows you ro move the fixture upto 2" in any dirrection.... in refits helps to mis joists all the time...

Really need more in the vicinity of 3-4". Will look into that "watercloset (toilet) flange that has an offset built into the hub/flange" just for future reference.
Maybe I read your post wrong, but you can't run 2in. to a toilet.!
Just thought I'd ask - did you check the joists for run or spacing? Can you, in fact, move where you want?
ciao for niao
To those who know - this may be obvious. To those who don't - I hope I've helped.
popeye87,
What Shacko said in post 2. If you don't have to cross a joist, a pair of 22's (aka 1/16 bends) will obstruct less than the 45's will. It is not legal to run 4" fittings into 3" downstream. Sole exception is 4x3 closet bend.

I've got 12" from center of the 4" cast stack hub to the joist edge.
