I called to check the status on my wheels today. Now they are saying MAYBE the end of April. I'm pissed. Last time I called it was two weeks. Now this? I have to say I'm really unimpressed with 4wheelparts. When i bought the item they said nothing about it being on back order. Then they told me it was, and that it would be several months. I know these are the wheels I want so I decided to wait and tough it out. I get impatient several weeks ago and call, she tells me they WOULD be in between 2-3 weeks. Well, I believed her. This woman today says oh maybe the end of April. Maybe? I told her the last woman I spoke to they told me they'd be in in a few days. She said "sometimes things change. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Yes, 4wheelparts, you can help.me by not telling me my wheels will be in in 2-3 weeks when in actuality you have no idea and don't know anything. I understand the wheels being on back order is out of your control. But don't get my hopes up and tell me they would definitely be in in 2-3 weeks if you don't know.
So, obviously I have to wait till who knows when for my wheels haha. So now I'm trying to decide if i want to just go ahead and put the lift on and have the tires mounted when they come or not. I kinda wanted it all done together so I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of getting the tires mounted twice. I guess ill just wait. I wish I weren't so impatient

I ordered my wheels from JEGS, competitive prices and free shipping. I ordered on the internets Sunday night and they were delivered Tuesday after noon!

So here's a little update, after numerous phone battles with several customer service reps at 4wheelparts, I have cancelled my order and will not be getting the pro comp 7031 wheels anymore. I will not be ordering from 4wheelparts ever again. But, I have chosen new wheels instead ill be ordering from quadratic. Black rock 941 dunes 15x8 with 4" backspacing. 5 of them for 397$ shipped. I saved over 100 dollars. My only question now is the 1/4 inch more of backspacing gonna make it rub anything? I would think not. But id like to hear that from someone who runs a 4.5" lift with 15x8s that have 4" backspacing so if you have that setup let me know if it rubs anywhere please
Here's a pic of my new wheel choice

Sorry to hear that man. It's crazy pro comp still has those wheels "for sale". It's been almost a year since I told they were on back order. Good luck with the new wheels!

I was gonna tough it out, it wasn't so much the waiting as it was 4heelparts customer service. They didn't care at all about my business or how they treated me and i don't appreciate that. I'm pretty easy to get along with and it takes quite a bit to get me to that point. But the last guy I spoke with was a real douche. I think the black rocks will look better anyway. The 4" backspacing will look batter I think anyway I just hope it doesn't rub

like your jeep man i just installed a 4.5 rc lift a cpl weeks ago not the x flex though 
also running 31's with 3.75 bc. i wouldve canceled my order on your wheels to, youd think since your giving them business theyd be a little more corteous instead of complete ....s! btw i like the new wheel choice better. imo 4" bc shouldnt cause any rubbing i have tons of room still. if youve never lifted a cherokee before i advise you to read some of the builds on here and soak the ...t out of your bolts weeks prior to the install, i had to cut a leaf bolt, a lca bolt, one of my rear upper shock bolts snapped off and a tc crossmember bolt. Good Luck.

Love them rims, Iv'e got the black rock blades with the same dimensions, 4" lift, 31' tires. The tires rub a little bit on the plastic trim under the front bumper when flexing and turning, never on road though. I still get my full turn radius, you should be good with the rims. You might need to trim a little plastic for those 32"s.....

Thanks for the advice man yea I've read alot on here about it. My cousin is the lead tech at dbr high performance and will be helping me and i can use their shop/tools
From everything I've heard the 32's clear a 4.5 lift with no trimming. I hope that's the case! Id like to not have to trim but if i have to trim a little I don't mind. Ill be cutting the lower valence part off the stock bumper and end caps anyway so that should help
