Is it possible to set width of "navbar-fixed-top" using Bootstrap "col-" classes?

I don't control width of "navbar-fixed-top" using Bootstrap "col-" classes. Suggestions I found so far recommend additions to Bootstrap CSS or use of 'container-fluid', though I haven't figured out how to control width with "col--" at the latter option.

Basically, I want to get the same to the following script but with navbar fixed to the top.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<body>
  <div class="col-md-2"></div>
  <div class="col-md-8">

    <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse">
      <div class="navbar-header">
        <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">WebSiteName</a>
      </div>
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
        <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Page 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Page 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Page 3</a></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>

I've used this W3Schools page on navbar-fixed-top to test HTML above. Do you have any working ideas?

Solution

The solution I come so far utilizes .container from Bootstrap CSS. Please see the script below. The only imperfection I noticed so far is a pixel-wide difference in width of navbar and content in various stages of browser resize.

  <script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

  <!-- start of css overwriting container, add 'container-overwrite' to <nav class> !-->
  <style>
    @media (min-width: 768px) {
    .container-overwrite{
        width:96.3%;
    }}

    @media (min-width: 992px) {
    .container-overwrite{
        width:63.7%;
    }}

    @media (min-width: 1200px) {
    .container-overwrite{
        width:64.7%;
    }}

    body {
          padding-top: 70px;
    }
  </style>
  <!-- end of css !-->
