Default after installing toilet found too close to wall,H20 tank wont fitright, need 2in+

There are toilet flanges that have an offset. Can you remove the current flange from the drain pipe and use an offset flange? Any reasonable plumbing supply house will have offset flanges. You could also replace the 2x4 in the wall behind the toilet with 2x2 and refinish the wall to create a tiny alcove if the offset flange does not give you enough offset.
