I have a G37XS lowred on Swift Springs. I was looking to purchase some wheels off a coworker they are
19x10 + 20 255/40/19
19x 8.5 +15 235/40/19
I know they aren't squared up but would they fit? Fender issues? Would just the rims be okay if I squared them up with 245/40/19 all around?
Thanks.

IMO you'd be better off looking for wheels w/ an offset that won't require heavy camber and possibly fender mods to make them fit.

Those are going to be aggressive, especially if your XS is a sedan. It would be easier to give a green light if you weren't AWD as diameter differences at 1% or more can create issues w/ the AWD system. If you run 245s all around your diameter difference will be slight but may get to be bad over time as your rear tires wear faster than the front and being stretched in back but standard mount in front may create a slight difference in diameters.

G/L and if you have more fitment questions feel free. BTW, coupe or sedan?

Since the wheels are your co-workers you could try a test fit just to see firsthand what you'd be dealing with. And yeah, getting those diameters front to rear virtually equal is of prime importance.

Let me know what style rims you're wanting, should be able to find some that would work w/ your budget and be 100% easier to fit

If you had a coupe you'd have more room to fit in the fender, a sedan would be really tough. Also you said these were from a Lexus, if they have teh Lexus bore 60.1mm you'd have to get them machined to fit the Infiniti 66.1mm bore. If they're aftermarket wheels they should be over-bored so you'd be OK. Personally I'd keep looking, you want a G that's easy to drive day to day, ones that are running heavy camber and slammed to get the proper tuck can be a chore just getting around. And if you have to do any fender work it might turn out looking bad and trying to sell your G later might be tough.

so a 15mm front 20mm rear, but do that check just to be sure.
B2 is a great vendor BTW.

Get some foam or even a small paperback book that's 15mm thick and lay it along the tire sidewall, this should give you a better visual than just a measuring tape, typically 5mm wider in back gives a more even fit but YMMV.
so a 15mm front 20mm rear, but do that check just to be sure.

also.. I really want to drop this thing.. it's still stock height.. but I just want some springs.. I know there's a billion threads about this.. but do I really need a camber correction kit or not.. everyone has a different opinion. SPC camber kits (front and back) run about $500 for the set.. I would probably just get Eibachs for the moderate drop.. lots of steep incline driveways here in florida and I don't feel like ripping off my front end whilst keeping my bank intact.

Sometimes you can get by w/ just the rear camber/toe setup & you can run rear camber bolts/toe bolts without buying the rear arms. The 2 full kits (4 bolts total) runs about $60 so another $300 or less for springs and if you DIY the install that would be about $500 w/ the alignment included.
Here's one kit (one camber bolt, one toe bolt)
SPC Performance Camber/Toe Cam Bolt Kit; Pair, Reqr's 1 per Wheel INFINITI G35

just wondering,
i'll be upgrading to akebonos on my 09 G37 sedan and currently have pretty much stock offsets for my Ray Gramlights 57F Pro 18x7.5 +47 all round, so I will need spacers
would 20mm or 25mm be better for a flush fitment? in the future i do plan on getting some adjustable coilovers to lower it, currently at stock height

Also here's a couple templates you can use to see just how much spacing you'll need to clear those calipers
