KAT,
I'll chime in since I just finished ripping out an old shower stall & prepping to install new.
What Dub said is true ifn you're looking to hit a stud. Mebbe not ifn U R trying to avoid studs. What I found was that the wall that has the shower controls usually has extra studs to hold the plumbing fixtures. If the shower shares a common wall with another bathroom (commonly does) then there could be extra studs in that wall too that were added for installing medicine cabinets & such in the other bathroom.
For grab rails, I'd seriously consider revising your install plan & try to hit the studs with a different kind of fastener. That'll be the strongest way of mounting it. I've just seen too many get pulled off that way because people actually use them to pull on & rip them off the wall.

Thanks Tom!
I mentioned the fastener that goes to the bars we selected in my first post, and it says to AVOID stud by 1.5". These things say:
"rated up to 800 pounds in Ceramic Wall Tile." Was the only one we found that seemed to be really good for tile.
We have the blue prints for our house....somewhere.....we're trying to find them to look at construction.
After looking over many stud finders, we decided to try the Franklin 710. It had 101 great reviews. We'll see I guess.
Also picked up a magnetic sensor as a double check backup.
