I'm currently looking at doing some reno in my basement and that includes reinstalling a toilet on an old rough in. Unfortunately, said rough in is approximately 7" from the wall. As 7" toilets are impossible to find (or at least I'm not finding them), I was hoping that I'd be able to find an 8" toilet and use a 1" offset flange. However, I'm having trouble located an 8" r/i as well.
So, given the above parameters, I come here to ask if my only two options are A) install a two piece "antique" style with a remotely located tank (ie. hung up high or around a corner) or B) rip up the slab and reset the rough in to 10". Option B is really not viable because of the previous owner's "decision" to level the slab when he concreted the basement floor. Under the toilet, the slab is 9" thick and the 4" drain line is set into the slab about 5" below the surface. I'd have to do some fairly intensive yet sensitive demo work to free the drain main. Option A is probably doable as I've seen several toilets with a 4 1/2" rough in but because this is a basement reno, I'd really like to avoid having to spend thousands of dollars on a toilet when all I need is a two piece.
Any suggestions? Thanks much!
