Same aisle that has the wax and waxless rings, should have flange extenders
in various thicknesses. Common situation, not a biggy. Only gotcha to watch
out for is that the new tile floor and the extended ring, are in the same
plane. If this isn't a new floor, and you had a toilet there before, you are
probably okay. If a new floor, you may or may not need shims. Almost forgot-
if you have to use the extra-long closet bolts, test-fit them and cut to
length before you assemble it all. DAMHIKT. (and why didn't Santa bring me a
die grinder and cutoff wheels?)

A cordless Dremmel tool with a cutoff wheel goes through closet
bolts like butter. ;-) It's great for splitting the nuts when
pulling the bowl too.
