I am looking for a ADA round bowl toilet due to size limitations with the bathroom door. The wife seems to think that it is important for the door to close when we have company.
The toilet will need to be 15 1/2 inches or less from the center of the mounting bolts to the front of the bowl.
Thanks for your help.

If you are installing a true ADA toilet, you're going to need 18" clear on both sides (right and left) of the flange. Measure 18" from the center of the flange. You can use a 15" measurement as long as you're not trying to conform to ADA codes.
As for the front of the toilet, your wife is correct. You do have to be able to close the door to the bathroom. Code required 22" of clear area for your knees in front of the toilet. It sounds to me like you're trying to do something that isn't allowed by code.
This isn't such a huge concern if this is your own personal property for your own personal use. However, when you try to sell that house, you need to yank the toilet and abandon the bathroom. Otherwis, the inspector will make you bring the bathroom up to code...which means you'll get to remodel a bathroom for the benefit of somebody else instead of for yourself.
You may as well go ahead and remodel the bathroom there. This is your chance to br>I am looking for a ADA round bowl toilet due to size limitations with the
