I'm not sure whether there is an absolute standard - or whether different
toilet/cistern combinations vary. If the toilet has a horizontal outlet -
needing a right-angled plastic bend to be fitted, there's slightly more
tollerance than if the outlet goes straight down into the floor.

FWIW, I have 3 close coupled toilets (bathroom, en-suite and downstairs
cloakroom) and they are all in the region of 100mm from the wall to the
centre of the hole.

Depends a bit on what you mean by "distance from the wall". Most toilets
have a "P" style trap these days where the waste comes out horizontally
at the back and goes through a wall, rather than a "S" type trap where
you need a hole in the floor.

The distance from floor to centre line of the outlet connector on most
pans is 190mm. The distance from the back of the pan to the outlet
connector is not a standard length and will vary from one model of pan
to another.
