Are these good macros for shredding bodyfat?

That's probably the right amount of calories to cause fat loss. Personally I can't workout efficiently on such low carbs but if you can the rest of the numbers are fine. Protein is probably a tad higher than necessary but I always take in more protein then needed to help with satiation. My worry is that at 8% body fat you are going to be rather scrawny and probably not look like how you want. To put it into perspective I'm your height, weigh 205lbs and am about 12% in my profile picture. I know individual body composition has a lot to do with it, but if you want to be 8% body fat your weight will have to be around 155 I think (depends on how much weight lost is fat). That's going to be rather small for 6'1 If I was you I'd focus on moving into a muscle gaining phase before 8%. Also, unless you're doing a bodybuilding competition 8% seems a little aggressive for simple aesthetics. This is purely my opinion but 12% body fat with decent musculature is more aesthetic than 8% skin and bones. Have you ever done an intentional weight/muscle gaining phase along with a weight lifting routine? If so what routine, how long, and how much did you gain? Most people do not achieve 8% on their first weight loss cycle.

@vismal Thanks for the reply! I started working out 2 years ago with no dieting and just eating whatever and I would say I gained some good muscle and lost 20 lbs of fat in 2 years and I dropped from over 20% to 16% and to be quite honest now that I think about it, I can stop cutting at 12% then clean bulk 300 over maintenance and try to stay at 12% while building muscle, does that sound good?

Yes, I think that's a very reasonable goal.

Yea, I would agree with this. Personally, carbs are an important tool for me during my workouts, especially during a cut. It may be worth cutting back on protein a bit and increasing carbs.
