I am replacing a toilet ,the floor in bathroom has ceramic tile,the tile is approximately 1/4" above the flange,the toilet I took out had regular wax seal,I am going to use one those waxless rubber seal,being that the floor is little higher is that going to be a problem,I am replacing it with Toto toilet,which I put in the other bathroom,I used a waxless seal in there,but floor was about even with the flange.Thanks much
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.
