Why would you do this?

The object isn’t to get the chainring as close to the frame as possible. You want to have it line up in the middle of the cassette.

I’m not sure of your 11/10/9/8 issue. The chainline would get worse as you go to the 1st position, but I’m having a tough time understanding how a chainring would be that close and not hit the chainstay and have problem only 4 cogs over.
