10 Speed 105 shifters with 11 speed ultegra hub?

I recently replaced my RH-500 wheels with some ultegra 6800s -- very nice. I put my 10 speed cassette on the 11 speed ultegra hub with the spacer provided for use with a 10 speed cassette. Question is, when I eventually replace the cassette (almost there), if I put on an 11 speed cassette, will my STIs work with some adjustments to the limit screws or are the STIs only made to work with 10 speed cassettes?

Much obliged.

You would need 11 speed shifters too.

The shifters you now have operate the derailleur to move the 10 spaces across your cassette. If you had an 11 speed cassette, you would need shifters that operated the 11 spaces.

Plus, the spaces are now smaller across the cassette so you can't just switch the cassette.
