Anyone know of an offset flange that only offsets 1" ?

I need to install an offset flange, but the smallest I can find is 1 1/2" offset and I think that will leave too much space behind the tank. The problem I have is that in my current installation, the toilet is already jammed tight against the wall and I've used up all of the play in the flange bolts already. I want to install 1/4" wainscot on the wall and since it's already too tight, the toiled won't fit. What I would really like is an offset flange of just 1 inch.

I have 3" ABS that runs straight up and have access to it, but it's only about a 14" piece before it goes into a cast iron waist so I don't have enough length on the 3" ABS to add a couple of 45's to move the 3" pipe and use a straight flange.

Problem solved!

I bought two 22 1/2 degree elbows and when put together with a short 3" piece of 3" PVC, it makes a bend that gives just 1" of offset in the riser. Now I can use a nice straight flange and all will be good.
