Just to make sure, that is 8" as measured from the corner of your frame perimeter, not the corner of your bumper outer surface... So there will be visible bumper stuff for about 11.25 inches on either side when viewing from the front. 8" + (2.5" + .75") contributed by side bumper dimension.
This has been a common mistake many teams have made when interpreting the 8" rule in the past.
Edit:
Looking closer at the pic, I now realize that the horizontal elements parallel to the bumper at the bottom of your grabber won't interfere with the bumper (I thought they would) and your 8" bumper can extend to the curved lattice structure.
