Prelude 5-lug hubs are the most ecconomical way to do the 5-lug swap. these are same offset as ITR so you can use ITR rims, but I am not sure of the S2000 spec's.. plus you can upgrade with the Prelude disc brakes too...

Also the gen one CRV Hubs will work but they dont have rear disc's I dont think and the front ball joints wont match or some crap, but it CAN be done, but Like adam said, I hope you got some $$$$ stashed away..

Lots of seppos have done the 5-lug conversion - so check out Honda-tech.com or even JDMcivic.com.

Pretty sure the CRV and prelude front hubs have a different spline count to the civic (thats why i didn't use them on my conversion) you also have to swap CV's to match the splines if they do have a different spline count.

Anything with a 5 stud hub on the rear also has a longer stub axle than the stock civic stub. So you need to fit them as well (longer stub axles). Of course honda doesn't sell the ITR stub axles seperately so you need to get some accord/prelude ones and have the end modified to accept the nut on the back OR have custom extensions made for your stub axles (these basically screw onto the end of your existing ones). Find a very good machinist to make or modify those though.

Unless you really know what you are doing, get the full type R conversion including front hub assembly and rear trailing arm assembly. They bolt straight up to your control arms.

I don't think the offsets will be the same, so your hubs if you do get prelude or itr hubs won't have long enough studs for the wheels, or your brakes might hit the rims.. i know prelude rims and type r rims aren't interchangeable for this reason.

with S2000 rims you're going to have to get 4 front rims to fit

i've seen this conversion already done.
i was at good performance centre at yenorra the other week

Cheers and Good Luck
