We are remodeling a bathroom - making it larger. We are at the very last stages and I came home and noticed that the toilet tank is 5" from the wall! The floors are tiled and heated, we are supposed to be about done and there is a huge gap between the back of the tank and the wall. This does not look right. Help.

Are you on slab or raised foundation ? Milo

Also tell us exactly what the measurement is between the back wall to the center cap (bolt under cap) on the toilet bowl... called the "rough in distance", OK? Do NOT measure from the wood baseboard... measure from the finished drywall (or tile). See image below.

This measurement is critical in telling us exactly what your alternatives are, OK?
