Sounds the same wheel/suspension spec as mine with 190/60/15 tyres and 6 inch wide stainless wheels. Strangely I have no problem with the front end of the car, the front chassis cross member can make contact on speed bumps taken at the same speed as my old 4/4 but I have learnt to go a little slower which solves the problem. Where contact is made is the centre of the car at the gearbox mounts when an incline changes sharply to a level, such as multi storey car parks and my garage. I am seriously looking at higher profile tyres which should give me another 2cms of clearance but need to make sure I have enough clearance on full lock and that the spare wheel will still fit, the cyclops rear light may have to go.
To reassure you if you haven't a problem on your drive there will be no issues on the open road as I live near some truly awful roads and even at 'enthusiastic' speeds the car has never bottomed out.
Enjoy your car they get even better with more miles.

Meant to put 195/60/15 not 190/60/15.

Andrew- thanks for your comments and yes, am really delighted.
With regard to the ground clearance, there was a useful few posts on ground clearance further up this thread which enabled me to have potential solutions if +4 or 4/4 did not have sufficient ground clearance to get up our drive (many cars bottom the front valance or low cross-members on our drive entrance).
In the end, we tried both up our drive and luckily found both will clear - but +4 has to be driven slow with not a lot in it - but it can be done. Maybe Keith (Burgandymog) or Peter (Gambalunga) ideas of 185/70/15 or 195/65 tyres is useful to you? We had this 'in reserve' in case a +4 did scrape - but, in the end, didn't need it. Our +4 is standard tyres only (195/60/15) - just checked. That's only about the 40th time I've found an excuse to go into the garage since Friday !
You mean you haven't rigged up a hammock in there yet? Kettle, fridge, Large box of polishing cloths.... Intercom and wireless phone...... Photo of the spaniel who showed you the car to buy....  Oh yes.... Welcome to the fold....excellent move.
