They don't fit side by side: 2 in past the wall.
An inch or more to every wall. Sit-up room +0.9 in.
Tight, 0.5 in from the wall. Sit-up room −1.6 in.
Pads side by side at their listed sizes, with the average man (5 ft 9 in) lying on each. "Tight" is under an inch to a wall or the sloping roof: the fabric gives, but a wet wall wets what touches it. Open it in TentCheck to try your own pads, cots and gear, or read how fits are checked.

The numbers

|---|---|
| Peak | 41 in (3 ft 5 in) |
| Vestibules | 11.6 sq ft + 11.6 sq ft |

| Packed weight | 21 oz (1 lb 5 oz) |
| Packed volume | 3.5 L |
| Regular pads that fit | 2 with an inch to every wall |
| Sit-up room on a pad, at the peak | +5 in for 35 in sitting height |
| Pitched footprint | 100 × 117.8 in (8 ft 4 in × 9 ft 10 in), floor and vestibules |
| Groundsheet to cut | About 88 × 44 in |
On the campsite
Floor and vestibules together cover 100 × 117.8 in. On a square tent pad, as campgrounds list them: 8 × 8 ft: doesn't fit; 10 × 10 ft: fits; 12 × 12 ft: fits. Guylines and stakes need more room around that.
For a groundsheet, cut it a little smaller than the floor, about 2 in, so rain running off the fly doesn't collect on it and run under the tent: about 88 × 44 in.
Notes
90 × 46 in floor on trekking poles, in Dyneema, with an 11.6 ft² vestibule beside each door. Durston lists a 46 in peak; as on the X-Mid 2, the inner is modeled 5 in lower (41 in) with walls that lean in.

Roof shapes are modeled from the floor, the peak and how the poles hold the walls, not measured. Treat a result within an inch or two as too close to call.
