most toilets are set for a 12" inch rough in, that means before sheet rock and against a wood framed wall you would set your toilet flange 12 inches to the center of the flange to the edge of the wall and if you have something in your way like a floor joist or other you can buy a 10" rough in toilet or you can use a offset toilet flange which will offset your drain pipe from your flange to about 2 inches any direction and if you are setting a flange before a concrete floor I would measure 12.5 inches just to be safe from concrete workers etc hitting your pipes.
