For example, the tire size on my Holeshot XC's is 20X11-9". The first number is the tire height. The second is the tire width. And, the third is the RIM DIAMETER.

Your stock rims are 8X9". That means that the rim is 8" wide, and 9" in diameter. So, the number that always has to match up is the RIM DIAMETER (9" IN YOUR CASE). Tire height and width can very some, but diameter has to be the same for rim and tire.

just make sure you buy the same size tire (tire height)
if you go 22's your gearing will be to tall and you lose power
on the low end, great for top end speed but real slow at the start
