I'm currently riding a 10yo Boardman hybrid bike with 10 speed 11-32 cassette. Will replace the cassette with Shimano M8000 11-42t 11speed cassette.
As this forum pointed out to me, the new cassette will fit my 10 speed hub because the lower gear has a recessed wide opening on the back:

The bike currently has 44mm chainline before the swap, I assume the center of the new cassette would be closer to the rim. Is this correct? If yes, by how much?
I'm replacing the bottom bracket too, might be able to compensate by getting the BB in a different size.
