10 speed road cassette on 8/9 speed Hope hub?

DMC3000

Old School Hero
I have an Hope XC hub from (I guess) around 2000 and looking at running a new, 10 speed Shimano 105 or Ultegra cassette.

Will it work or are there compatability issues in terms of widths?
 
Think it's only some of the shimano cassettes that require it. Usually (always?) come in the box/bag with the cassette.
 
OK so it's more likely the cassette would be slightly narrower than too wide. I can work with that!
 
Re:

It's the 10 speed Shimano road cassettes with an ALU carrier that need the spacer. So 105, ultegra etc. Tiagra and lower don't need one.
