The biggest limitations are hangar door size (which limits wing span) and hangar height. With the raked wing tips off the 747-8 has the same span as classic 747 and the vertical tail is essentially identical. The 747-8 is only about 8 feet longer than the 777-300 and that additional fuselage length is (generally) not an issue.
