Which pads fit
They don't fit side by side: 8 in past the wall.
An inch or more to every wall. Sit-up room +45 in.
An inch or more to every wall. Sit-up room +43.8 in.
An inch or more to every wall. Sit-up room +37.8 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.

On the campsite
Floor and vestibules together cover 144 × 144 in. On a square tent pad, as campgrounds list them: 8 × 8 ft: doesn't fit; 10 × 10 ft: doesn't fit; 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 142 × 142 in.
Notes
Floor 12 × 12 ft (144 × 144 in), 7.5 ft peak and vertical walls, canvas, one D-door and a stove jack. Kodiak rates it for 8, or 4 with a stove inside; an 8 × 8 ft awning is sold separately.

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.
