@Turnbaugh909

If you mean you want to rotate the Grid in Illustrator, as in View > Show Grid, see Joojaa's answer - change the preferences for the Constrain Angle.

You can create guides at any angle though.,,,

Draw a rectangle the size of the overall grid you want....

With the rectangle selected, choose Object > Path > Split Into Grid and define the divisions you desire.



Double-click the Rotate Tool in the Toolbar and input the angle you want. Click OK



Choose View > Guides > Make Guides and the paths will be converted to guides.

make guides. Any line can act as a guide line, which is a bit like a grid line although you wont be able to grid snap to them
Rotate the grid, you can find this in the Preferences → general → Constrain angle
