Unless you are shaving down frames to 1 1/4" wide, the best course of action in your case would be to put in 8 frames and have them all pushed together, and the group centered in the box.
Just because 9 brand new undrawn frames may physically fit is not a good reason to do that. You will appreciate a little space to pull frames once they are drawn out. The linked thread is about 5 frame nucs, not 8 frame boxes, but highlights some similar issues:
