residential you can go from center of toilet to wall is 16" min

commercial is from center to toilet to wall is 18" min

If you are plumbing in a residential building and are a bigger person who is claustrophobic then if possible put it at 18"

we always try to make the toilet center to the wall 18" in residential and commercial because everyone will be happier.

Your toilet should be roughed in from finished wall to centre of outlet flange at 12 inches. This will keep the tank on most models about one inch from the wall.
