There are recommended distances for all of the Toto models and probably other brands as well, but the main thing is not to be to close to the center. With the flex supply lines that are mostly used now, distances more or less than the recommend won't make that much difference. Heck, mine comes through the floor! I suppose if one is installing new plumbing and has a toilet selected, it would be reasonable to use the distance recommended for that toilet, but replacing a toilet with another, you would just use the existing supply.
