No and no again. There are more considerations than tension.

Why does anyone consider this? If you want to play steel strings, buy a guitar built with that in mind. If you want to play nylon, buy a nylon string. There are plenty of options available at all price points

I can't find a link right now, but IIRC somebody makes and markets steel strings designed for use on classical guitars. The nearest I can find are the CLASSIC N SUPERLONA from Thomasti-Infeld that have stee flatwound bass strings (nylon core). I've just put a set on my Godin ACS, but not sure if I'd use them on an acoustic nylon stringer.

Putting steel on a classical is asking to destroy the instrument - even light steel strings can have 50 lbs/20kilos more tension than classical sets.

No. It will not be fine. If it is fine in the short-term, it will certainly will not be fine in the mid-to-long term. If the guitar is garbage already, though, do whatever you want.

a lot of very vague answers on this thread, but here is a video that is more specific:
https://www.google.com/search?q=putt...5bC2BZ7DnagN60 google is your friend. Attaching the strings to the bridge would also be an issue (different designs).

If you want a steel string classical guitar, why not instead get a steel string guitar that is very much like a classical? I have a Huss & Dalton 00 12 fret that has 1 7/8" nut with 2 5/16" saddle string spacing. I also have a handmade Brunton classical guitar. These really are more similar than not.
Most Huss & Dalton 00 12 fret guitars apparently have the narrower 1 3/4" nut, but the same 2 5/16" saddle string spacing. I bought my Huss & Dalton used, but if the company could make one for the original owner, I am sure they could make one for you too. Tony
