Can the projector 20 ft away from the screen?

I'm considering buying a projector to use in my home theater setup. I live in a loft...my room is 70 ft long by 22 ft wide and my ceilings are 25 ft high. Ceiling mount is almost out of the question and I don't want a projector sitting in the middle of the floor.
18 feet will have to be the minimun throw for me to consider for a projector. I would like the projector to be against one wall and throw the image 18 to 22 ft across to the other wall. Is this attainable and still get good picture quality?
