I don't see how you will get three phase with that combination.
6 coils, three phases, so two coils per phase. Now the 8 magnets... I can't see a way to arrange that so that one phase works together. 8 magnets would have 45 degrees between them, and the coils in one phase have 120 degrees... and 45 doesn't go into 120!
I think a diagram is the place to start, and check that the coils in one phase pass over the magnets in sync.
