I bought a set of 31X10.50R-15 last year and just put them on the stock wheels. Now I'm getting some new wheels, but I don't know what I need to consider with it comes to the width.

^^^ 15x8 4" backspacing will do nicely

I plan on getting those fender flares, will 4" be enough seeing as they are only 31s?

Yes that's plenty as is 3 3/4" it depends on who makes the wheel as to what the BS will be. I have had both on mine they were the same for my app.
