Super slinky electric guitar strings on my classical nylon acoustic?

Question

I know the guitar is not made for the tension of acoustic steel guitar strings and also probably not regular gauge electric steel strings but I have a pack of the Ernie Ball super slinky that I would like to try out on this classical acoustic I have. The reason being is because i think that with the body of this guitar the steel strings will resonate in an interesting way, not to mention I would have more room to bend and experiment.

so let me get everyones opinion.

thanks

DON'T DO IT!!!  

Classical Guitars are not made to hold the tension needed for a steel string.  A friend brought his guitar to me to fix the fretbuzz he was getting.  The problem was he had 2 steel strings on his classical guitar.  The plastic rollers by the tuners that had the steel strings on it were cracked causing the strings to fall lower than designed, the angle and tighter tension caused the strings to eat into the nut deeper, which lead to too low of an action causing his fret buzz.  Also, the bridge is not anchored strong enough to the body to stay secure over time.  The internal bracing is not designed to endure the pull of the bridge like that which will more than likely cause the entire soundboard to warp up.  The parts and shipping for my friend was going to be at least $50, would be over $100 if you took it to a professional luthier to have it done and he only had 2 steel strings on it!  

Don't ruin a good guitar, buy a steel string if you want to play with steel.   Hope it's not too late.
