The default positioning of the small "8" under the clef symbol when
using the treble_8 or G_8 clef is too far to the right. It looks better
when the X-offset is about 0.7 staff units:
%============
\version "2.17.10"
\relative c'{
\clef "G_8"
\override Staff.OctavateEight.X-offset = #0.7
c d e f
}
%============

I'd guess that this is because the centre lines of the 8 and clef line up.
Do you have examples supporting your view?
Nick Payne posted to the lilypond-user thread here:

commenting that there isn't a single value for X-offset that works for
all ottavations.
Here are a couple of scanned examples of clefs from commercial guitar scores,
showing the 8 centred under the loop of the clef, and a couple of pngs showing
Lilyponds default output and the output with the X-offset hard coded to 0.7,
which better matches the alignment in the commercial scores.

I'm all for changing it - let me know if you need a patch to be proposed.

Thanks. That would be good if it could be done.
