It is not a problem at all. But you will have a 2" gap between the back of the tank and the finished wall.

Why would the water drain from the tank but not flush or suck the water down through the toilet bowl when you flush?
Do the rest of the fixtures in the bathroom drain well? If they do not drain well, my guess would be the venting of the plumbing system. If all of the other fixtures in the bathroom drain well, then there is probably something in the trapway of the toilet. Assuming it is just the toilet that is having problems, then a closet auger might do the trick. Hope it helps.
Plumber problems the drain makes gurgling sounds when you flush the toilet and the water goes down in the toilet when the other toilet gets flushed?
either the vert is plugged and there is no air getting through or there is no vent at all
Toilet Installation: Basics Steps For Bathroom DIY Job?
Installing a new toilet in a bathroom is a basic do-it-yourself job that can be done by a single person, although an extra hand may be helpful. First, the rough in measurement must be taken, which is a distance between the back wall and the drain connected to the toilet bowl. Next, the water supply in the bathroom must be turned off and the water from the tank needs to be flushed. After that, it is a matter of unscrewing a couple of bolts, removing the wax ring from the drain, cleaning the flange, and installing the new toilet bowl and tank. It is important to seal the drain with a cloth or bag while working, because harmful sewage gases can leak inside the bathroom.

What is wrong if the sink and the bathtub will drain but the toilet wont flush?
The toilet itself is plugged or the pipe from the toilet to the drain is plugged. It may be that the tub and sink have their own drain pipe that may connect to the main away from the toilet drain.

When you have a shower toilet gurgles water backs up what do you do?
Your drain line is plugged somewhere after your shower and toilet line are connected. The reason for the gurgle in your toilet is because air is trapped in the drain and your toilet is the closest place for air to flow to. If you had a vent on your toilet trap arm then it would gurgle in the vent rather in your toilet but your drain is still plugged and needs to be snaked out and maybe your drain line needs to be examined for right grade or broken.
