Can I install a wall mount toilet here?

Here are the dimensions measured after I opened the wall. Before opening the wall I made my peace with the idea that I will be installing a normal toilet because: -I thought the wall is built with 2x4 studs (but no, it is built with 2x5") -I thought that in order to reach the main stack (drain) I would need to go through a stud with would have been difficult with a carrier installed there and a 2x4" carrier I am now seeing that: -the wall is...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

If I do not want to move the toilet sit to align with the drain I will have to use a 2x6 carrier (which allows the carrier elbow to protrude and pivot in the vertical plan at the back of the carrier. As per the below diagram for the 2x6 carrier the biggest quote front to back is 4 3/4" which will protrude in a wall that is built with 2x5 studs (5" is 4 5/8" as far as I can measure) Way too many complications to go for this. As the manual says the coupling of the carrier to the drain is also problematic to glue and I have only 3" to rotate that toward the stack which will need a Y there so way too little space for that
