I have a 200 amp disconnect that ill be putting on a house that's outside rated that's separate from the meter. I was told I have to hit my disconnect from the meter within 8 feet but is there a rule for my outdoor rated disconnect to my breaker box that's in my basement?

Depends on who told you.
A local AHJ? Maybe so. Have him/her quote it. They would be aware of local requirements.

This 8' distance is not in the NEC so if that's the requirement in your area it must be a local amendment. After the disconnect the feeder to the panel distance has no limit.
