Anyone know how I can easily fix the toilet centerline? It is 19.5" from the side wall but I don't want to have to relocate plumbing or hire a contractor.

I've used this product to help during barrier removal on toilets that aren't mounted correctly:

This product has worked really well in our medical office buildings.

Fur out the wall
Professional Interpretation or Opinion

Applicability:
- Readily achievable barrier removal
- Program access
- Reasonable accommodations
- Best practices/Universal Design
Type of entity:
- ADA Covered Facilities
Project location: AL
Project date: July 4, 2015
Questions, Facts, and Assumptions:604.2 Location. The water closet shall be positioned with a wall or partition to the rear and to one side. The centerline of the water closet shall be 16 inches (405 mm) minimum to 18 inches (455 mm) maximum from the side wall or partition, except that the water closet shall be 17 inches (430 mm) minimum and 19 inches (485 mm) maximum from the side wall or partition in the ambulatory accessible toilet compartment specified in 604.8.2. Water closets shall be arranged for a left-hand or right-hand approach
If yours is at 19 1/2", I'd fur the wall out with a 2x4 flat, add
drywall (19 1/2" - 1 1/2" - 5/8" = 17 3/8") within range. Don't cut the concrete or flooring or move plumbing. Just need to make sure all other clearances, (42" from center line to adjacent wall/fixture is clear, etc.)
Furring out the wall would keep cost low and you wouldn't have to hire a contractor or move plumbing. I think that this is one of the best solutions

Wall furr-out to support a grab bar when toilet is too far from the side wall
General Comment or Question

Here's a good example of one solution for a water closet that's too far from the adjacent side wall. Sometimes this solution is easier than moving the fixture when an offset flange can't be used. It's like what Daniel is describing but I'm not sure about the exact dimensions or construction details of the one in these photos.

Offset Flange
Possible Solution or Design Idea

For floor mounted water closets, we have suggested the use of an offset waste flange to shift the centerline. While a contractor is probably required to install it, it will remove the barrier without having to move the waste line. Always check the local plumbing code to ensure that these are allowed by the AHJ.
