Default good tires? and question on backspacing

ok, so when i buy rims ima buy tires to, guess thats a given. but n e way my question is, who makes a good tire thats not $1000? i hear good things about nittos but i no nothing about tires at all. its for a daily driver, so will have to be decent in the rain to, i.e. no drag radials(might get an extra pair of rims for those eventually). and the backspacing question, what exactly is backspacing? what is it stock? or how can i tell? again... thanks alot.

i guess some Toyo Proxes TPT's would work. i know my tries are awesome in the rain and dry. they are an all season touring tire. they handle really well but i cant seem to get traction with them at the track. might have to drop the PSI a bit more.
