how long will it take to hit 8%?
Depends on your caloric deficit, not IF.
I don't think IF matters just diet in general and you'll get there the same speed. Answering your question. I have no clue.
At 166 12% BF you will need to lose ~8-10 lbs (7 lbs fat, you will lose a little LBM, not necessarily muscle, when losing the fat).
So if you are really on point you can do it in ~2 months, maybe 2.5 months.
Assuming you are accurate in your estimate of 12% (most people underestimate their BF%).
Why do you want to get to 8%? Are you competing?
Risky trying to cut into the single digits IMO, too high a chance of drilling through hard earned muscle.

Just want to have more muscle definition to look nice
If you don't think you have muscle definition & look nice at 12%, then you probably aren't at 12%.

It will take n days, lucky because IF is magic and it would take n+100 days without IF.

Should aim to lose 1-2lbs/week. From there, you can calculate how long you need
