Default Brand NEW Used flat tire

well I bought sume 35x12.5x15 pro comp xterrains off a friend awhile back and they have aton of tread on them then I bought sum black summit daytona rims 15x10 w/ 5" BS well we put them on the other day and the only thing wrong with 2 of the tires is where it looks like the machine used to put tires on rims dug into the side wall right where it meets the rim and pulled chunks out and tore sum up well 1 was leaking a little bit and So I was just gonna air it up after work welll it went flat
So I aired it up then put my 32 back on for a spre and went to the tire shops the next morning they said it had a bulge and couldnt be fixed So I had to buy a brand new tire cheapest I could fine was $250 and itll be here tuesday.....I tried rubber cement it there anything elese that could work to fill the hole?

as from working at a tire place for 7 yrs, the buldge is a separation between the rubber and the belt... it should not be run on the road, once the tire heats up it will blow. it cannot be fixed
